The Cole County Democrats work to protect the rights and freedoms of residents of Cole County and Missouri — building a vibrant, inclusive community that promotes justice, health, and prosperity for all.
Five practical ways the committee turns its mission into local action — and five places where new members make an immediate difference.
Per RSMo 115.603, every officially recognized party in Missouri must maintain a hierarchy of committees as part of its political organization. Here's how ours is built.
Our committee is intentionally broad — pulling people from every ward, township, and precinct.
Chair and Vice-Chair must be full committee members representing a ward or township.
Several township and precinct seats are open right now across seven jurisdictions. If you live in any of the areas listed — or if you simply want to get involved — we'd love to hear from you.
From your school board to the statehouse, every ballot is a chance to shape the place you live. Three kinds of elections, three different ways your vote moves things forward.
Often votes on tax levies and city council — the people who run your community and have the most direct impact on your day-to-day life.
Choosing the nominees who will represent and steer your party's values into the general election.
Voting for the candidate best suited to lead — and often passing or rejecting the ballot issues that have been presented.
Update or check the status of your voter registration with the Missouri Secretary of State — it only takes a minute.
Add the next Missouri primary, general, and municipal elections to your calendar — with reminders one week out, so there's no scrambling.
Two recurring Cole County Democratic meetings, both open to the public. The Central Committee handles official party business; the Jefferson Democratic Club is a broader social-and-civic gathering for anyone who wants to plug in.
