What It Means to be a Precinct Committee Person...

There are two Republican precinct committee people in every precinct. This is an official elected office that is stipulated by Colorado Election Law.

The two precinct committee people represent Republicans in the precinct at the Arapahoe County Republican Central Committee. They will have the opportunity to vote for the party chairman, vice-chairman, secretary, and treasurer at the Organizational Meeting in February 2013. They may also vote on other important business that may come before the Central Committee during their two-year term. As such, precinct committee people will help set the direction of the county party during their term.

In addition to their participation as voting members of the Central Committee, precinct committee people have additional responsibilities. The precinct committee person will help the county Republican Party with get-out-the-vote efforts that may include distributing literature to Republican households in their precinct, making phone calls, reaching out to Republican neighbors, and conducting the precinct caucus in 2014.

Being a precinct committee person is a serious, two-year volunteer commitment. While it isn't a full-time job, it will require some of your time over the next two years. Precinct committee people must be committed to helping the Arapahoe County Republican Party advance its candidates and agenda for the next two years.
