Become a Precinct Committee Officer

A Precinct Committee Officer (PCO) is the most grassroots elected official in Washington State. They represent and organize their neighborhoods consisting of a few hundred constituents. Their job is to educate neighbors, but they can only do this by first educating themselves about the issues their neighbors care about and the challenges they face.

This is a job you can do PCOs need a whole variety of skills, and no one person has them all. This is exactly why we need PCOs from all different backgrounds and why the 42nd LD Dems work together to move our whole community forward.

Take a look at the resources below and become a PCO in the 42nd LD! PCOs are elected once every two years, but you can be appointed any time

once local parties re-organize in December and early January. A PCO must be registered to vote in the precinct they represent.

What is a Precinct Captain?

A Precinct Captain performs the organizing function of a PCO. Unlike a PCO, a Precinct Captain does not vote on matters such as local party officer elections or bylaw amendments. Precinct Captains may be registered to vote in a different precinct than the one they are assigned as the Precinct Captain.
