Pennsylvania County Democratic Committees are the local chapters of the PA Democratic Party. Every four years, in the same electoral period as the Gubernatorial election, Democrats in each Town, Township, and Borough cast votes for or write in the names of people in their municipality to be their representatives to the County Democratic Committee.  The number of Committee people allowed per municipality is determined by population; the minimum allowed being two.  

Committee members choose a Board consisting of a Chairperson, Vice-chair, Secretary, and Treasurer, with whom they will work for the next four years.
