Voter Registration Committee

The purpose of the Voter Registration Committee is "to develop and maintain a strong membership base, representative of the diverse population of Pima County, that is committed to and conducts its work based on democratic values such as people being responsible to people (humanism) and social/political equality (egalitarianism.)"

 

The Pima County Democratic Party's Voter Registration Committee is being revilatized during this particularly important election cycle. Under the guidance of Committee Chair Jonathan Rothschild, a newly-retired social worker, four planning subcommittees have been developed and these will work both independently and together. There are many opportunities to get involved, whether as a member of one of the planning committees, or by volunteering your time to staff registration tables at special events and regular locations. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact Jonathan at 326-3716 of pimadem@pimademocrats.org, or a chair of the subcommittee you are most interested in working with.
