The County Party and the Townships

The Democratic Party of DuPage County represents all Democrats in the county and works closely with township organizations, elected officials, and candidates to promote Democratic values and get more Democrats elected.

DuPage County is split up into 9 townships. Townships are units of local government in Illinois, and they provide a variety of services to residents who live outside of incorporated municipalities (villages and cities). Even if you live within a village or city in DuPage County, you are still part of one of these nine townships.

Each township in DuPage County is represented by a Democratic organization and they all work together with the County Party.

The Democratic Party of DuPage County works with the 9 township organizations. We encourage you to find out what township you are part of and join your local Democratic township organization.
