Newton County Democratic Committee
The Newton County Democratic Committee (aka, the "Full Committee") consists of 30 local party members who are elected to serve four-year terms as the governing body of the Democratic Party in Newton County. The committee is made up of six members for each of the five County Commission districts. For each district, half of the committee members are elected in Presidential Election years, and half are elected in Gubernatorial (Governor) Election years. Committee members are elected at the Party District Caucus, which must be held within 45 days of the General Election in even-numbered years. All party members are eligible to vote, but can only vote for candidates in the County Commission District where they are registered to vote.
