The intent of this page is to provide a number of documents, web links and guides so as to provide information to citizens, Philadelphia Committeepeople and those interested in voter registration and voter engagement activities.
Philly Voter Engagement Linktree
This list of voter engagement links is produced for the benefit of voters in Philadelphia, across Pennsylvania, and for my fellow Democratic Committeepeople. It originated as “Websites for Philadelphia Committeepeople” in 2018. This new set of links is stored as a Linktree page at https://linktr.ee/phillyvoterengagement.
The set of voter engagement links were compiled on behalf of the 22nd Ward Open Caucus, since renamed Mt Airy Democrats, to make canvassing easier and assist voters to navigate numerous government voting websites. Some have suggested it as a useful smartphone tool. The vast majority of links are useful for voters in any part of Pennsylvania.
The links appear in the following order, as of 12/23/2024:

Rules of the Democratic Party of the City and County of Philadelphia
Prior to being sworn in as a newly elected Philadelphia Democratic Committeeperson in 2018, I obtained an official copy of the Democratic City Committee Rules directly from the Office of the City Commissioners. According to law, county committees – Republican and Democrat – are required to furnish their local election board with updated bylaws, when adopted.
The most recently available revised and approved version of the Rules of the Philadelphia Democratic County Committee is dated June 18, 2022. A copy surfaced October, 2023, not obtained directly from the party organization or the City Commissioners office, is available here.
The Rules of the Democratic Party of the City and County of Philadelphia, time stamped March 31, 2014 by the City Commissioners office, is available for downloading here.
Precinct Committee Person Handbook
Precinct Committee Person Handbook 2017.2.0 is a publication of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party aka PADems. This version was obtained from their Harrisburg headquarters in June 2018, shortly after becoming a Committeeperson myself. It was shared with fellow 22nd Ward Executive Committee members and other “freshmen” Committeepeople in Philadelphia.
A link to this twenty-seven page handbook was previously included in a June 19, 2018 blog article, “From Resister To Philadelphia Democratic Committee Person”.
