Precinct Elections
The Oklahoma County Democratic Party is preparing for its biannual party reorganization. Part of the reorganization is the Precinct Committee Call. The Precinct Committee Call is the process through which Precinct Officers are elected.
What is a Precinct Officer?
A precinct officer (sometimes called a precinct captain, precinct chair, or precinct committee person) is a grassroots, volunteer leadership role within the Democratic Party. They serve as the party’s representative in their local voting precinct—the smallest geographic unit in the political system.
What a Democratic Precinct Officer Does:
Engages with voters: They connect with Democratic voters in their neighborhood, helping to register new voters, sharing information about candidates and elections, and encouraging people to vote.
Mobilizes turnout: Precinct officers are often the front line in "Get Out the Vote" (GOTV) efforts during election seasons. They might knock on doors, make phone calls, or host events.
Builds community: They act as a liaison between the Democratic Party and their community, listening to concerns and sharing them with higher levels of party leadership.
Participates in party decisions: They have a say in local party matters, including electing party leadership at the county, congressional and/or state level and helping to shape the platform.
Recruits volunteers: They help find and organize volunteers for campaign efforts, events, and Democratic Party activities.
Why It Matters:
Precinct officers are crucial in strengthening the Democratic Party at the grassroots level. They ensure that voters are informed, engaged, and represented, playing a big role in winning elections up and down the ballot.
