Register Democrat to vote this June

Editor,

The primary is coming up in June.  Maryland only allows voters registered as Democratic or Republican to vote in the primary.  If you are not registered or are registered as Independent, Libertarian, Green or Constitution Party, you may not vote in the primary.

The Worcester County Democratic Committee’s main focus is discovering, training, backing, and electing Democratic candidates. We strive to create a strong and connected Democratic community. As a member of the Worcester County Democratic Committee, I urge you to please consider registering as a Democrat so you can cast a ballot in June for your preferred choice for governor, state senator, district delegate and district commissioner.

The candidate filing deadline is Feb. 24.  It’s time to learn about the Maryland candidates and make an informed decision on June 23, 2026.  If you aren’t sure how to find out who is running for what, Democratic clubs are a great resource, and I’m going to tell you about two of them in our county.

The Democratic Women’s Club (DWC) is a vibrant network of women and men who work to elect Democrats, advocate on state and local issues of importance, and educate our community on critical issues. We also offer opportunities for members to meet new people and to volunteer and give back to the community. The Democratic Women’s Club usually meets the fourth Monday of each month at the Berlin Library from 9:30am to noon.  This month’s meeting is 2/23 and the speaker is from the Ocean City Art League.

The Democratic Club of Worcester County strives to promote participation in the Democratic Party through registration, voting, social gatherings, educational activities, publicity and fundraising.  The Democratic Club of Worcester County meets the fourth Thursday of most months at the Ocean Pines Library from 6pm to 8pm.  This month’s meeting is 2/26 and our speakers are Susan Buyers and Toby Perkins from Indivisible.

You don’t have to be a member to attend these meetings; all are most welcome! Please come and check us out.  I believe you will find we are a caring and respectful community with much more in common than our differences.
