All Democratic Party Precinct Committee Persons (PCPs) in Jackson County belong to the Central Committee, which is the governing body of the Democratic Party of Jackson County. As a PCP, you have a voice and vote in the party when we make decisions that affect your community.
As a PCP, you are the party’s grassroots, representing your neighbors to the party. For every 500 registered voters in a precinct, there can be one precinct person of each gender (male, female, non-binary).
What are the prerequisites for becoming a PCP?
Your primary residence must be within Jackson County.
You must be registered as a Democrat at your Jackson County address. If you are unsure about your voter status or are not currently registered as a Democrat, look up your voter status and/or re-register as a democrat.
How do I become a PCP?
To be elected as a PCP, you need to run for election during the May Primary Election that is held during even-numbered years. The next chance to be an elected PCP will be in May 2022.
To be appointed as a PCP, please complete our Precinct Committee Person Application. Once you application is submitted, you must attend one of our monthly Central Committee meetings in order to be appointed.
What can I do once I'm a PCP?
