What is a Precinct Organizer?
Precinct Organizers (POs) are a very important link in making our political system work. POs are the Broomfield County Democratic Party’s representatives who connect their Democratic neighbors in their precinct with the county party. POs advocate for Democratic values and policies, our elected officials, and our candidates.
As a PO, you can –
- Vote for party leadership
- Influence who will be party candidates
- Help get Democrats elected to office
- Shape the party platform
- Have fun getting to know your neighbors!
How do I become a Precinct Organizer?
Precinct Organizers are elected or appointed. POs can be elected at their Precinct Caucus during even-numbered election years for a two-year term. They are elected either by a majority of the qualified Democratic attendees at Caucus or, in the event of a vacancy, are appointed by the Chair of the County party.
After their election, they become voting members of the Broomfield County Democrats Central Committee, Vacancy Committee, and Central Committees of some muilt-county districts. They are encouraged to assist in the planning, organization, coordination, and supervision of the Democratic activity within their precincts.
Qualifications
- You must be a registered Democrat and reside within the precinct you represent.
- You must be willing to learn about and follow the Party and election-related rules and policies.
- You must be willing to actively support the designated Democratic candidates when and as appropriate. (No financial support is required.)
