Precinct Committeeman (PC) Information

Thanks you for showing interest in becoming a Republican Precinct Committeeman (PC) -- the most important elected official in the party.

As a PC, you will get the opportunity to meet elected officials, help determine the outcome of elections, and become a Republican leader in the community. More importantly, you will be part of the leadership team that helps elect candidates who share the Republican ideals of lower taxes, less government and more individual freedoms.

What is a PC?

The precinct is the smallest, yet most important political subdivision in Arizona. Technically, a precinct is a geographical area established by law for election purposes. Each precinct in Arizona elects PCs from each major party to organize the party in that precinct. The number of PCs for each major party elected in each precinct is based on the number of people registered in the party in the precinct.

What does a PC do?

PCs act as the bridge between voters and the candidates and elected officials and the foundation of the Party. The duties of PCs include helping the Republican Party grow and assisting in the election of Republican candidates to office. The work that a PC does can make the deciding difference in any election. Some of the duties of a PC include:

1. Persuading voters in your precinct to vote for the Republican candidates.

2. Registering Republican voters in your precinct.

3. Help recruit other Republican volunteers and PCs. The best way accomplish the other goals and have fun is to get as many people involved as possible.

4. Attend district and/or county Republican meetings. These are a great place to meet other local active Republicans and to share information and ideas.

How does someone become a PC?

PCs are elected in the party's primary election every two years. A person, who wants to become a PC, obtains a small number of signatures (never more than 10) and his/her name appears on the ballot and is elected if they receive sufficient votes.

If someone wants to become a PC between elections and a vacancy exists in the precinct, the party can appoint someone to fill vacancy. If you are interested in becoming a PC or just helping out in the next election call John at 419-8090 or David at 906-8111 or send an e-mail.
