The most grassroots work you can do as a Democrat is at the county area level. You can be an elected precinct member or a precinct volunteer. 

Precinct Teams & Volunteers:

  1. Recommend candidates to voters by an issue education process
  2. Help voters to reach a comfort zone on the entire voting process
  3. Encourage and increase voter turnout by phone banking and literature drops
  4. Register new voters, particularly the young and carry out absentee ballot programs for seniors and the disabled
  5. Provide information on current political issues, including Social Security, Medicare, Prescription Drugs, Jobs, Education, Student Loans
  6. Help raise funds for the Democratic Party

The County Precinct Structure

Two committee persons, one male and one female, are elected in each area/precinct for four-year terms in the Primary Election the year the Governor is elected. After election results have been certified, there is a re-organization to elect the County Chair and Vice Chair. Next, the area committees select their precinct captains. A precinct captain leads the area committee members, with a goal of getting out the vote and informing voters about candidates in their division/precinct. Volunteers may join the area teams.

Elections are won or lost in local areas. There is no stronger persuasive voice than the voice of an active neighbor.
