Alexandria Young Democrats

Please join us on Saturday, December 10 from 5-7PM for our Annual Holiday Party and Elections! This year, we will be meeting at Councilman Rob Krupricka’s Home; located at 409 East Alexandria Avenue.  We will be celebrating our accomplishments for the year and welcoming our 2012 AYD Executive Committee.  If you are interested in running for a elected position, please contact us at: president@alexyoungdems.org.  Food and refreshments will be provided. We hope you are able to attend and please feel free to bring a future Alexandria Young Democrat along!

Join us on Wednesday, October 19th at 7:00pm at the ADC Headquarters (618 N. Washington Street, Alexandria, VA) for our monthly general body meeting and phone banking. RSVP to: membership@alexyoungdems.org.

The early bird catches the worm! Join us this Sunday, October 2nd at 6am (that’s right, 6am!) at the ADC Headquarters to plant campaign yard signs around Alexandria. We will be assigning an area to each person to drop so a vehicle is required. If you would like to help and don’t have a vehicle, let us know and we can pair up.

Absentee voting opens to eligible voters on Friday, September 23 for the November 8, 2011 General Election for Virginia State Senate, House of Delegates and Alexandria Clerk of Court (sample ballots are available at alexandriava.gov/Elections). Many Alexandria voters are eligible to vote absentee, but relatively few take advantage of this option.

There are several qualifying circumstances. For example: You commute and work for 11 of the 13 hours the polls are open. (Take into account those days when traffic is heavy or the weather is bad and it takes longer than usual to get to and from work.)
You are a caregiver for a confined family member.
You are unable to go to the polls in person on Election Day because of an illness or disability.
You will be absent from Alexandria on Election Day because of business, work, school, or vacation.

To learn more about these, and other circumstances in which absentee voting is an appropriate option, visit alexandriava.gov/Elections and click on “Absentee Voting,” or call 703.746.4050.
