This initiative was spearheaded to ensure that all members of Democrats Abroad have representation and a voice in our global organization. The role of Non-CC Voting Representative is an exciting development for the growth of Democrats Abroad (officially named Democratic Party Committee Abroad, or "DPCA") and the enfranchisement of DA members who currently do not have representation within the DPCA body.
To be eligible for nomination, a candidate must be a member of DA by the Nominations Deadline of March 6, 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:
https://demsabroad.org/NominateNCCrep
(Both the Nomination Form and a Candidate Statement must be submitted by the deadline to be included on the ballot.)
