Do you need to request a ballot, register to vote in PA, or  join/change a party? ​
You can call the Democratic headquarters to request a voter registration form be mailed to you or visit the PA voter registration website.
  1. You can simply call the Adams County Democratic Headquarters at 717-337-5285 and leave a message with your name and address. An application will be mailed to and you can fill it out and mail it in to the County Courthouse.
  2. You can apply online. This site allows you to request either an absentee or a mail-in ballot; make sure you apply for the mail-in ballot, as it does not require a reason for your request.  The absentee ballot requires that you state you are unable to vote in person for medical or travel reasons.
  3. You can download and print out a form and mail it into the Adams County Board of Elections.​

2020 Voting Guide

I AM A DEMOCRAT!
I AM the party of the union worker, the minimum wage earner, the person struggling to make a livable wage.
I AM the party who believes in healthcare for all, help for the mentally ill and addicted and for those with pre-existing conditions.
I AM the party who believes that sexual orientation is not a basis for discrimination.
I AM the party that believes all men are created equal in the eyes of the law, regardless of race, creed, or nationality.
I AM the party of the immigrant, the minority, those who work with their hands and those who work with their minds, those in professions and those in vital service industries.
I AM the party of the Veteran—who gave more to this country than most of us can possibly imagine.
I AM the party of the child, the woman, the elderly.
I AM the party of those who believe that our children should not live in fear.
I AM ever changing, willing to reach out to a fluid society and tackle each obstacle that materializes.
I AM A DEMOCRAT.

Adams County Democratic Committee stands solidly in support of Black Lives and the right of the people to peacefully assemble and make their grievances known.

           We denounce white supremacy and police violence in all its forms. 

We are appalled by the murder of George Floyd and other people of color by police.

We do NOT condone violence and looting at protests; violence on all sides must end. 

We condemn attacks on peaceful protesters and the use of regular military and Federal law enforcement against peaceful protesters.

Virtually every recent Federal and State legislation to grant Civil Rights to all citizens has been spearheaded by Democrats; it is incumbent on today’s Democrats to follow that lead.

We charge our elected officials to continue, improve and expand those efforts. We condemn the efforts in several states to whittle away at these protections.  Institutionalized racism must end.
These are turbulent times, with pain, anger, sadness, and fear; they require that communities beyond just the ones under attack stand up and speak out.

Racism, white supremacy, and state-sanctioned violence are issues we all need to stand against.

Now is the time to do everything we can to question and modify the systems that perpetuate racial injustice in policing, health care, employment, housing, voting, and more. 

Silent agreement is not enough – it can be seen as supporting the status quo.  Our voices are needed.

It behooves all of us who are not of the communities of color to educate ourselves about the silent, insidious, unaware racism that surrounds us.  Resources are available from many organizations, including the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Teaching Tolerance” materials (www.splccenter.org/teaching-tolerance ), and those from STAND earth (www.STAND.earth ).
Campaign Zero has a list of 8 things that can reduce police violence by 72%.  Find more information at www.8cantwait.org
          Ban chokeholds and strangleholds                    Require reporting of all force
          Require de-escalation                                        Duty to intervene
          Require warning before shooting                       Establish use of force continuum
          Exhaust all alternatives before shooting            Ban shooting at moving vehicles
These suggestions are among many helping to provide effective ways to channel our energy in support of Black Lives and systemic reform. We truly hope that this can be our moment of transformative change.
Adams County Democratic Committee will be supporting local advocacy efforts and coordinating with established and ad hoc groups who are keeping this incredibly important matter visible and audible.
We will make our members and friends aware of events such as the peaceful protests over police brutality held in Gettysburg and Hanover and the petition for information from local police departments requested by Gettysburg Rising.
And we will support Vice President Biden, Governor Wolf and Senator Casey in their efforts toward making our country and our Commonwealth more just and equal for all, especially including the all-important November 3rd election to put Democrats back in charge.

SUCCESSFUL ACDC FUNDRAISER AT GETTYSBURG HOSS'S

Hoss's Steak & Sea House has this deal for Non-Profit organizations where we get at least 20% of each persons dinner tab when they come in with a Hoss's "Cash Cow Card." ACDC packed the place tonight and we walked out with over $400.00! What made it more fun was that the results of the New Hampshire Primary were coming in on the TV while we enjoyed our meals. In addition, our State Senate candidate Rich Sterner was there and we were collecting signatures for the April PA Primary. Special thanks to our own Niles Ellingson for finding us this deal!

Save The Date and Plan to Participate!!  This event is being planned by Chad-Alan Carr, with co-host and Danny Sebright and with full support of Adams County Democratic Committee.
 
Please join us for a socially distanced peaceful march to bring awareness of our Democrat nominees and show our community a friendly and positive way to do so. We must all vote and we must all be kind to get through this pandemic together.
 
When: 5pm Sunday, September 27, 2020
 
Where: The march begins at 5pm at Lefever and Baltimore Street in Gettysburg. We will march peacefully, masked and spread out on the sidewalk down Baltimore Street to Lincoln Square and briefly pause in front of Gettysburg Hotel where volunteers of Adams County Democratic Committee will be to help get people registered to vote! Disperse to any of the wonderful restaurants throughout Gettysburg for dinner on your own afterwards. They need our support too.
 
What to bring: Wear your face mask and spread out always. Bring your American flags, peace and love signs, and your favorite Democrat nominee signs too. Pets on leashes and lots of friendly positive energy to show to the community as we march downtown. Bring friends and family and let's make it a great evening. BIDEN signs and more are available now at the ACDC office. 
 
STAY MASKED AND STAY SAFE!
