Political Committees
Precinct Committee Persons
The next election for Democratic and Republican Precinct Committeemen and Committeewomen will be in 2028. Candidates for political party precinct positions will qualify for office during the same period as state and county candidates.
The number of precinct committeepersons allowed per precinct are based on voter registration statistics for each precinct as regulated by party rules. Only the names of candidates, with opposition in their precinct, will appear on the Primary Election ballot for individual precincts. There is no run-off election for these positions. The term of office is four years.
The Democratic Party elects a State Committeeman and State Committeewoman internally. The Republican Party candidates for State Committeeman and State Committeewoman appear on every Republican Primary Election ballot as they are elected countywide.
Interested individuals should contact their party executive committee for additional information about qualifying as a candidate for state or precinct committeemen and committeewomen or to obtain information about membership guidelines and party rules.
