Precinct Committeepersons are the backbone of the Democratic Party and make up the Central Committee. They represent the Democratic Party in their neighborhood, and work with local party leadership to help elect Democrats to public office. Committeepersons are elected to a two-year term at the Spring primary of even-numbered years. Elected Committeepersons are eligible to cast a weighted vote for party leadership at the biennial party convention held one month after the primary. The county party Chair may appoint Democrats to fill vacancies in precincts where no one was elected in the Spring primary. If interested in running to be a Precinct Committeeperson for your district, please review this Precinct Committeeperson information sheet and contact us!
