We Believe
We embrace the mission and message of the Democratic party that anyone, from any walk of life, should have a fair shot at the American Dream.
We believe that cooperation is better than conflict, unity is better than division, empowerment is better than resentment, and bridges are better than walls.

ADVOCATE FOR RURAL ISSUES
Rural and small town Virginia voters matter! And their issues matter. Orange County Democrats work to ensure those issues are addressed by our elected officials and candidates for office.
Of Special Note
September 2026 Meeting
Our next meeting will be held on Saturday, September 12 at 10am at the OCDC office. We'll be doing GOTV planning as early voting begins on September 18.
3 Constitutional Amendments on the Ballot
OCDC is encouraging your YES vote on the constitutional amendments on the ballot this year. For the text and explanation of each of the measures, click here.
The Leaque of Women Voters has a handout that explains each of the amendments for you to download and share. Click the link below to download the document.
Let's All Vote Early This Year!
45 days of early voting starts Friday, September 18 and we invite you to join us in making a big impact by heading to Orange to vote early with us that day. When we vote early it energizes our volunteers, strengthens our turnout numbers, and helps carry the ticket to victory.
If you can't join us on September 18, pick another day and then enjoy some time in the town of Orange! The Registrar's office (130 N. Madison Road) is open for voting Monday-Friday from 8am-5pm, with the exception of Monday Oct 12. The polls will also be open Saturdays Oct 24 and 31 from 9am-5pm and Sundays Oct 18 and 25 from 11am-4pm.
If you need a ride to the polls to early vote in Orange, or to your polling place on Election Day, contact us to arrange a ride. Click here to sign up for a ride and our coordinator will be in touch with you to arrange it.
