Washington State Democratic Chairs Organization

Dear Chad,

Want to take the next step as a Party activist?

Today is the first day of filing week in Washington State. Between now and Friday, June 11th, you have the rare opportunity to stand for election as a Democratic Precinct Committee Officer (PCO).

PCOs are elected officials of the Democratic Party. They are the Democratic representative for their precinct. A precinct can be as small as a section of a neighborhood or as large as a historical "township," but precincts usually contain 200 to 800 registered voters.

A filing reminder from the PDC for 2009 political committees:

This filing reminder will apply to your political committee if your committee is supporting or opposing candidates or ballot measures in the 2009 primary and/or general election.

If your committee is not involved in the 2009 election cycle then you will continue to file C-3 and C-4 reports monthly. **Please check with PDC staff if you are not sure what to file.**

The Young Democrats seek to engage activists and citizens between the ages of 18 and 35 to get involved in the political process. If someone votes Democrat, or Republican, early and often during their first few years as a voting citizen, they are most likely to stay with that choice throughout their entire lives.

We will also have a golf cart in the parade for the Democrats. Ken and Barb Caylor, Ken is running for office, will be riding. If there is room so will I with candy to throw.

From: Blinn, Katie - Office of the Secretary of State
To: Subject: PCO Elections

Dear County Chairs,

We have received a few questions about PCO races in the context of the new Top Two Primary.

PCO races will appear on the ballot after all ballot measures and other offices. Voters will be instructed:

“If you consider yourself a Democrat or Republican, you may vote for a candidate of that party.”

Candidates will be listed by party, and the candidate from each party who receives the most votes will be declared elected.

After the Congressional District Caucuses on May 17th, I would like to put the two campaigns to work building our infrastructure. We need the Delegates and Alternates from the Precinct Caucuses to join the party and become PCO's, and we need them to file for that office with the county elections departments.
