The Baltimore County Democratic Central Committee is announcing an open membership position in the 12th Legislative District.

Each individual will be invited to make their presentation to the Committee if they wish. The Committee will then vote to select one new member to the 12th Legislative District Democratic State Central Committee. Whoever receives a simple majority vote will be named to fill the vacant 12th Legislative Central Committee seat. Should there be a tie vote among the remaining members of the 12th Legislative Central Committee, then the full Baltimore County Central Committee will decide who will be the new member from among the tied candidates.

Central Committee members have the official responsibility to fill vacancies of certain offices due to death or resignation of elected officials, and fill vacancies when no Democratic candidate has filed for nomination. The Central Committee also recommends to the Governor appointment of the members and substitute members to the local County Board of Elections and at times provides recommendations to other state and county boards.
