The Easttown Democratic Committee operates under it’s by-laws which can be read by clicking on this PDF link:  By Laws of the Easttown Township Democratic Committee. Here is link to the bylaws for the Chester County Democratic Committee: Bylaws of the Chester County Democratic Committee plus a document further detailing the Endorsement Process of Candidates. 

The Committee includes:

• • Chairperson (often called a Zone Leader because Easttown is one of twenty zones in Chester County)
  • Vice-Chairperson/Assistant Zone Leader
  • Secretary
  • Treasurer
  • Committee People – two elected per precinct so 14 in total. In addition, there can be up to 7 appointed “At Large” Committee People.

COMMITTEE PEOPLE – The role of a Committee Person(CP) is to be the Democratic neighborhood representative for each precinct. The voters in each precinct elect two CPs every four years at the spring primary. The most recent election occurred in May 2018, so the next opportunity to be on the ballot is May 2022. Each CP serves a four-year term and there are no term limits. If you’re interested in running and want to appear on the ballot, you must be a registered Democrat in the precinct you want to represent and file a petition with the County like any other candidate for office. 

Those on the Committee have voting rights in local party policy decisions and internal elections, as well as voting rights within the Chester County Democratic Party for endorsing candidates, etc. Committee people’s responsibilities include:

• • Get Out the Vote – Convince all Easttown Democrats to vote for Democrats in all primaries and general elections
  • Attend Monthly Committee Meetings
  • Identify and Encourage Potential Candidates to Run for School Board and Township Offices
  • Staff the precinct polling places and work as “Greeters” for every primary and election
