Membership

 

The MDCC consists of up to 245 members, up to 35 members for each of our seven wards, and an unlimited number of associate members.

 

Members must be (1) registered Democrats and (2) residents of Marlborough. The Committee is elected by the public every 4 years in the Democratic Presidential Primary. When vacancies occur, positions may be filled by vote of the Committee. Citizens may also choose to participate as associate members. There are suggested annual dues, currently $25. The dues are used exclusively by the MDCC and are not used to support particular candidates or the state or national organizations.

 

Our Officers are chosen by our members.

 

Many people become a member by first attending meetings to see if they are interested in becoming a member. If they are, they can usually be enrolled as a member after the meeting. Please contact us if you have any questions.
