March 14, 2024

The position of Non-Country Committee Voting Representative was created through changes in the DPCA Charter in 2021 to ensure that all members of Democrats Abroad have representation and a voice in our global organization. The role of NCC Voting Representative is an important development for the growth of Democrats Abroad (DPCA) and the enfranchisement of DA members who currently do not have representation in the DPCA governing body. 

These representatives will serve alongside approximately 250 other voting representatives from DAs country committees to discuss and vote on DA business – such as Resolutions, Platform, and International leadership elections at global meetings.

To be eligible for nomination, a candidate must be a member of DA by the Nominations Deadline of 28 March 2024 midnight members' time, and must reside as a general member in the designated Region in which they run. 

Candidate Self-Nominations must be submitted via the following Google Form:

(Both the Nomination Form and a Candidate Statement must be submitted by the deadline to be included on the ballot.)

The Non-CC Nominations and Election Committee can be reached at: [email protected]  

Full details on the Position and Eligibility Requirements are located in the DA Wiki: https://wiki.democratsabroad.org/NCCelections 

On-line voting will begin 31 March with the publication of Candidates’ Statements and distribution of ranked-choice ballots; and end 14 April midnight members’ times. 

The Election Result Reporting Meeting will be announced once ballots have been tabulated
