Under the New York State election laws, each political town committee (e.g., Democratic and Republican) is entitled to two (2) voting committee members for each district. As such, the Warwick Town Democratic Committee is entitled to a total of 62 voting members. Town committees are also allowed to have an unlimited number of associate (non-voting) members. Whether you choose to become a voting member is entirely up to you and truly depends on how interested you are in becoming more deeply involved in local politics. Whether you decide to be a voting or non-voting member, EVERYONE who joins our committee is valuable to us, because everyone brings unique ideas, skills, talents, and abilities that can help us reach our goal of fulfilling the promise of democracy.
Because our local elections can be decided by a single vote, the efforts of our local Democratic Party members (voting and non-voting) make a HUGE difference in our election results, the quality of our local leadership, the political direction of our town, and, ultimately, the quality of life for everyone in our community.
