What is a PC? (Precinct Committeeperson)

• A precinct is the smallest unit of government, with roughly 300 to 1500 voters. In Arizona law, a PC is the elected or appointed representative to the neighborhoods -- the vital link between elected officials, the Party, and the voters. Republicans are allowed to have one PC for every 125 registered Republican voters in the precinct. Only registered voters living in their precinct can apply to be a PC.

What are examples of things I would do as a PC?

• Wear a button. Put a bumper sticker on your car. Network with people of all political parties
• Introduce yourself to registered voters in your neighborhood while you collect signatures for candidates running for public office or for ballot issues  (petitions for signature gathering are circulated up to 10 months before elections).
• Persuade voters Get Out the Vote: Encourage Voting by Mail so we have a better chance of getting our people to the polls.
• Collect small contributions ($5 and $10) from neighbors and friends for candidates who are running "clean elections". Clean elections candidates need to gather small contributions in order to qualify for city or state campaign finance funds.
• Recruit volunteers to fill vacant PC slots and share the load in building an enthusiastic grass-roots organization for the Pima County  Build our base!
• Identify and represent the interests of these voters and express their concerns at a monthly legislative district meeting.
• Register new voters in your neighborhood, including 18 year olds, and talk to voters (either by phone or door to door) to increase voter turnout.
• Recruit poll workers for election day and monitor problems at your polling place.

Why should I be a PC?

• We need you to help promote ACTION over apathy. INFORMATION over ignorance.
