The Acton Democratic Committee is your local arm of the Democratic Party. Acton DTC members also share a common vision aligned with the principles of the Democratic Party and work locally in a variety of ways to support these principles. Membership consists of up to 35 members, and an unlimited number of associate members.
Members must be registered Democrats and residents of Acton. 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.
