Democratic Precinct Committeeperson
You can fill a vital role in creating change by becoming a Democratic Precinct Committeeperson or PC.
A PC is the representative from a neighborhood to the Democratic Party and communicates election and candidate information to a neighborhood. Your neighborhood is your precinct. Every month the Democrats in each Legislative District meet together and you can become a nominated PC at the meeting. Your District Chair will be happy to help you get the information you need to do so.
1. Find your Legislative District by checking you voter registration card or visiting http://recorder.maricopa.gov/pollingplace05/GetDistrict.aspx for Maricopa county, or for anywhere in Arizona at www.azredistricting.org and type in your address at the lower left.
2. Attend your next District meeting. Check at http://azdem.org for information about the next meeting of your Legislative District.
Elected PC
Every two (even) years, nominated PCs can become elected PCs.
To become an elected PC, you collect ten petition signatures of fellow Dems in your precinct before June 4, 2008. Your District Chair will have the forms and other information for completing the process.
Elected PCs are eligible to vote for district and county party officers and to be an officer themselves. One third of PCs are chosen by their fellow PCs to become a state committee person and can vote at the state level of the party.
Increase your power by becoming an elected PC.
