Wilco Democratic Party - Commission Area Two - Precinct Chairs

WILLIAMSON COUNTY PRECINCT CHAIRS

Precinct Chairs are the backbone of the Democratic Party. The job of a Democratic Precinct Chair is to get more Democratic candidates elected.

We do this by:
  1. Attending a monthly meeting at the Round Round BACA Center, 301 West Bagdad Avenue, BLDG #2, Round Rock, TX 78664. The meeting is always the second Thursday of the month. The actual meeting starts at 6:45 PM, but the door open at 6:00 PM for social/gathering time.
  2. Organizing volunteers (street captains and block captains). This is done with the help of your CAL (me) and VAN.
  3. Organizing block walks, phone banks, text banks, and postcard parties.
There are 38 Precinct Chair positions in CA2. At this time, we have 20 positions filled.

The filing period for precinct chairs reopened Tuesday, September 12, 2023. The filing deadline is December 11, 2023 at 6:00 pm.

Requirements and filing deadlines for candidates for county office can be found at the Texas Secretary of State's website: www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/candidates/index.shtml

In between elections, you can be appointed to become a Precinct Chair.
To apply, go to wilcodemocrats.org/become-a-precinct-chair where it describes the application process. You will email Kim Gilby, Party Chair: wilcodemschair@gmail.com.

The elections are held every two years on even years. The next election is 2024. The filing period ended on December 11, 2023 at 6:00 pm. The current candidates for Precinct Chair in 2024 are on the SOS site here: emr.sos.texas.gov/cpc-filings/cpc-report.aspx. There is only one contested race. The rest will automatically be the new Precinct Chair.

Some Precinct Chairs are appointed. This occurs between the official elections above. These Precinct Chairs are voted on by WCDP officers and Precinct Chairs at an Executive Committee meeting. To apply for appointment, go to wilcodemocrats.org/become-a-precinct-chair where it describes the application process. You will email Kim Gilby, Party Chair: wilcodemschair@gmail.com Once Kim has reviewed your application, she will have the Candidate Committee review your application and then bring up a vote by the Precinct Chairs and Officers at the next EC Meeting to vote to appoint you.

    Precinct Chair Functions, Duties, and Goals

    The main function of a Precinct Chairs is to be the point person between all Democrats within your precinct and officials of the Williamson County Democrat Party.

    The most important goal as a new Precinct Chair is to find other Democrats in your precinct and start forming a team of volunteers who will be willing to work by your side during election season to get Democrats elected up and down the ballot. You can locate these Democrats using our Voter Access Network database (VAN) to create lists of people you can contact in your precinct.

    The general duties of Precinct Chairs include attending Executive Committee meetings, supporting all Democratic candidates, and the canvassing and encouragement of voters in your precinct. Your CAL can review the full list of duties with you during your initial training.
