The Baltimore City Democratic State Central Committee (the Central Committee) is comprised of 40 elected members from five legislative districts in Baltimore City.  The Central Committee is responsible for building the Democratic Party organization at the city level, registering Democratic voters, and encouraging Election Day turnout among Democratic voters.  Central Committee members are the grassroots level elected volunteers of the Maryland Democratic Party.

​

Central Committee members have the official responsibility to fill vacancies of certain offices due to death or resignation of an elected official, and fill any vacancy when there is a failure to have a Democratic Candidate file for nomination.  The Central Committee also recommends to the Governor appointment of the members and substitute members for the local City Board of Elections and at times makes recommendations to other state and county boards.
