With all the noise of the presidential election, it easy to forget there are countless government seats other than POTUS to fill. What are all those positions listed on the local ballot papers? New Jersey redditor dopey_giraffe never really knew, but he’s been writing his own name in the blank spaces for years.

Then he received this in the mail:

Uhhhh, he won! The redditor had been elected as a member of the Democratic County Committee. Confused, he asked for help in Reddit’s New Jersey community.

“I have no idea what exactly I won,” he wrote. “Do I have a position to do something? Am I just on the ballot in the official election? Is it a Democratic Party position only? I’m more than willing to do whatever this means, but I don’t know what it is.”

Redditors found hilarity in the situation.

One redditor even made him a sticker.

It turns out that the other person elected from his district received around 120 votes. He received two (and isn’t sure where that second vote came from). Those two were enough to get him elected.

He was intent on fulfilling the duties of the position, whatever they may be.

Redditor Mongo1021 has the same position in another state, and was able to chime in on what it entails. Basically, he’ll be helping choose local candidates to endorse and campaign for, and representing his voting district at democratic committee meetings. It’s a volunteer position.

The redditor—a millennial—already attended the first meeting of the Democratic County Committee, and reported back.

“There was actually a surprising number of people there,” he wrote. “I was the youngest by far. I sat next to someone who told me basically his life’s story about why he’s a democrat and everything he’s done to help out. He was happy to see someone my age. … It was kind of fun too. I want to do more.”
