Democrats Abroad (“DA”) is the overseas arm of the US Democratic Party, and is treated like a State Party by the DNC. Per the DA Charter, the DPCA body is the highest authority of Democrats Abroad — this body is composed of DPCA Members who are elected every two years to represent their Country Committees (or in some cases, geographical groupings organized as country committees). These “CC” or Country Committee elections are conducted locally in the Spring of 2023 (almost all to be completed by May, prior to the AGM in June.)

Every CC carries at least two votes (CC Chair and CC Vice Chair), and, in cases with larger committees, will have additional votes carried by DPCA Voting Representatives elected specifically with this responsibility. Such DPCA Voting Representatives may vote directly on governance matters of the DPCA including Elections, Charter amendments, and Resolutions, among other business. DPCA Voting Representatives in attendance of the meeting may also carry up to three proxy votes of other DPCA Voting Representatives who cannot attend.

If you cannot attend the AGM please commit to proxying your vote to someone who will be sure to vote as you instruct. If you need help with this, please contact us here.

If you are willing to reach out to others on why Martha must be our next Chair, please contact us here!

Many Country Committees will elect Alternates or Non-voting DPCA representatives, who per the DA Charter are full members of the DPCA in every respect except that they do not carry a vote intrinsically themselves. As DPCA members they may otherwise participate fully in matters of the DPCA, and they may also carry up to three proxies.
