What is a Precinct Committeeman/woman?

The Precinct Committee members are the core volunteers of political party activity. They are, in effect, the governing body of both the County Democratic Party and their Legislative District Party Committee. Their duties include those activities which go to strengthen the Democratic Party and to assist in the election of Democratic candidates to public office. For example, such activities include (1) Assisting in the registration of persons as Democrats, (2) Persuading voters to vote Democratic by phoning, walking, mailing, etc. , (3) attending meetings to help strengthen the Democratic Party organization at various levels, (4) Assisting in raising funds to support Democratic candidates and the Democratic Party.

These are only some of the suggested duties Precinct Committeemen/women may engage in. Whatever activities achieve the goals of furthering the Democratic cause are appropriate functions of the Precinct Committee Members.

How does one become a Precinct Committeeman/woman?

Precinct Committeeman/womans are actually elected officers. They are chosen every two years at the Primary Election by the voters in their Party. After qualifying for the ballot by obtaining a required number of petition signatures (a minimal number – never more than 10), they appear on the primary ballot and are elected when they obtain a sufficient number of votes.

Each political party is allotted one Precinct Committee slot for each precinct. When vacancies exist within a precinct, the party may select Precinct Committeeman/womans by appointment by the County Chair.

Interested in becoming a Precinct Committeeman/Committeewoman?

A precinct committeeman/committeewoman is a Democratic Party official at the local level. They are on the front lines in elections, invited to special events with candidates and absolutely essential to winning elections.

The job of committeepersons is simple: Find Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters, get them registered to vote and get them to the polls on election day. The office of the precinct committeeperson is the most important position in the entire Democratic Party!

They can be the most effective people in their area to get out the vote for Democratic candidates. People are more likely to trust a neighbor – even one they don’t know – to give them useful information about candidates and the voting process. Use our contact form to get more information.
