Black Hawk County Democrats
What is a Precinct Committee Member (PCM)?
(Sometimes called Precinct Chairperson and Precinct Committee Person.
We are going to make it simpler by calling them PCMS)
The most important responsibility is representing your precinct as a voting member of the Central Committee of the Black Hawk County Democrats. This entails keeping track of what is going on by reading the E-mailed Weekly Newsletter, responding to the Chair's messages, and attending Central Committee meetings and special conventions for important votes like electing officers and Democratic candidates for special elections.
The next obligation is to do as many of the following things as your health, work and family responsibilities permit. If you come to meetings, read the newsletter and browse our website, you will find activities and volunteer opportunities that match your strengths and interests.
When you go to protests
and rallies, be willing to talk about
being a Democrat.
Never support a candidate who is running against a Democratic nominee.
Help with voter registration and encouraging others to vote by absentee ballot.
Help the county
"get out the vote (GOTV)"
