Precinct Committee Officers (PCO's)
Your participation in the Democratic Party begins
in your neighborhood.
Background
King County is divided into 2,613 neighborhoods
called precincts, many are only a few blocks in size.
Most precincts have a Precinct Committee Officer (PCO)
who serves as the political representative for that
neighborhood. PCOs walk their precinct before each
election making sure their neighbors are registered
voters, handing out election materials, and reminding
people to vote. They also are a key player in spreading
the word about Democratic candidates! PCOs are elected
every two years in the November general election. It is
also possible to be appointed as a PCO between
elections, or to be appointed as an Acting PCO for a
precinct in which you do not reside.
PCO Training (1.5 MB PowerPoint)
Become a PCO
- Find your Precinct through the
polling place look-up
- Check the
PCO list (linked on the left Nav) to see if your precinct has a PCO
- If your precinct has a PCO,
contact your LD Chair to volunteer to "adopt" a
neighboring precinct.
- If your precinct does not have a PCO, complete
the appropriate PCO Form (linked below) and
contact your LD chair about form submission.
Note: if you do not know your LD, use the
Legislative District
Lookup.
PCO Form
Some Legislative Districts (32 and 46) require the
signatures of ten registered voters on a PCO
application, the others do not. You can print out the
