A precinct is the smallest political unit in the country. Each precinct reports to one polling station. Small, but mighty! An active committee member can be the difference in a handful of votes that decides an election.

Whether elected or appointed, all committee members serve the same purpose: to get Democrats elected at the local, state, and national levels. PCs have certain rights as governed by county, state, and national bylaws:

• voting privileges for candidate nominations as a result of a death or resignation of an elected official.

• voting privileges in any recommendation or endorsement process that takes place on the county level.

• voting privileges in county-level party business such as electing leadership, passing resolutions, and bylaws changes.

• Attend county party meetings, events, and activities.

• volunteer with the local party for things like staffing tables and registering voters at events.

• be a visibly proud Democrat.

• Obtain the list of registered voters for your district/ward and familiarize yourself with your neighbors.

• Talk with your non-affiliated neighbors about why they should register as Democrats.

• Promote the Democratic Party and candidates on social media.

• Help identify people to fill vacant committee spots.

Committee member serves a 4 year term.
