Become a PCP!!!
What is a Precinct Committee Person (PCP)?
Democracy is NOT a Spectator Sport!!!
A precinct is the smallest political unit in the country.
A precinct cannot be divided by
legislative, congressional or supervisor district.
A PCP is a representative of the Party in the precinct in which he or she resides (or an adjacent one). Oregon’s election law authorizes one or more male and one or more female PCP for each major political party for each precinct depending on its size. For every 500 registered voters in a precinct, there should be one PCP of each gender.
The Democratic Party begins with the Precinct Committee Person. Each PCP is a voting member of the Central Committee of the county party. The Central Committee in each county is authorized to make all decisions relating to the Democratic Party for their county.
Party members may file for election as PCPs in May Primary Elections or may be write-in candidates. To be elected they must be registered Democrats and have been a party member since the previous September. Vacancies may be filled by appointment between elections at Central Committee Meetings.
