Arlington, VA – The Arlington Democrats will hold a precinct captain caucus and leadership election (“reorganization meeting”) on January 3, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. at Dr. Charles R. Drew Elementary School, 3500 S. 23rd Street, Arlington, VA.
The Democratic Party of Virginia requires local committees like the Arlington Democrats to reorganize every two years. This means that the Arlington Democrats must hold a “Reorganization Meeting” where the officers of the Arlington Democrats will be elected to two-year terms. Immediately before the commencement of the meeting, the Arlington Democrats will hold a caucus at which precinct captains for all 54 voting precincts in Arlington will be elected to two-year terms.
All registered voters in Arlington who are Democrats are eligible to vote in the leadership election. Voters must sign up by Monday, December 18, 2023. To sign up, please visit the Arlington Democrats website at www.arldemsold.local/reorganization.
Individuals interested in running for an elected officer or precinct captain position must file a filing form with the Arlington Democrats by 7:00 p.m. on Friday, December 1, 2023. Filing forms can be found on the Arlington Democrats website.
The following elected positions are up for election: Chair, Deputy Chair, Precinct Operations Chair, Voter Support Chair, Finance Chair, Communications Chair, Volunteer Coordinator, Secretary, Treasurer, Press and Public Relations Chair, Outreach and Visibility Chair, Sergeant-at-Arms, Parliamentarian, Inclusion & Equity Chair. The responsibilities for each elected position can be found in the Arlington Democrats bylaws.
The public may watch the meeting proceedings remotely via the Arlington Dems YouTube channel. A copy of the reorganization rules can be found here.
