Edward Gogol published Democratic Precinct Committeeperson Role Description in Resources 2024-02-25 16:46:41 -0600
Democratic Precinct Committeeperson Role Description
What is a Democratic Precinct Committeeperson (PC) and how does one become one?
Being a Precinct Committeeperson (PC) is the most important role in the Democratic Party of McHenry County. We are the "boots on the ground", charged with getting out the Democratic vote and electing Democrats up and down the ballot. It's a highly customizable role, we do it together, we have fun, and you won't meet a nicer group of people.
It's actually an elective office. PC's are elected for a two-year term in the March primary election in even-numbered years, and may also be appointed by the party chair if no one is elected.
Here's the complete description of the role. If you'd like to learn more please reach out to our party's vice chair at [email protected] or 815-596-0892.
