Candidates may also get on the ballot by petition. The most basic level of organization in the City Democratic Party is the precinct. There are now about 100 precincts in the City of Charleston. At precinct meetings held during May, Democrats elected precinct officers, Executive Committee members, and delegates to the City Convention. The precinct meetings are open to all registered voters and represent democracy at its most basic level.
Some precincts remain unorganized.
You can contact the Chair to find out who is your precinct representative, or to volunteer to build an organization in your precinct. The Executive Committee is the governing body for the City Party. Special meetings may be called by the Chair. This year, the City and County Executive Committees have been meeting jointly. Although they are separate entities, they work together very closely.
