Precinct Committee Officer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Precinct Committee Officer, or PCO, is an office created in Washington state to organize a voting precinct for a political party. The office of PCO is one of the most grass-roots offices available. The PCO brings to the party organizations the concerns of the voters, and of the neighborhood. Conversely, the PCO provides a link between the voter and the legislative district and county organizations, disseminating information and providing assistance where needed to the voters of the precinct. In other states, this position is often called Precinct Captain.

A person wishing to run for PCO must pay a dollar fee, and file their declaration of candidacy with their county auditor for a specific party. Districts 32 and 46 in Washington state require ten signatures. The candidate must be a registered member of the party they are running for, and must live in the precinct they are running for. PCOs are elected for two-year terms.
