What is a Precinct Committee Person (PCP)?


A Precinct is the smallest political unit in the country. A precinct cannot be divided by legislative, congressional or supervisor district.

A PCP is a representative of the Party in the precinct in which he or she resides (or an adjacent one). Oregon’s election law authorizes one or more male and one or more female PCP for each major political party for each precinct depending on its size. For every 500 registered voters in a precinct, there should be one PCP of each gender.

The Republican Party begins with the Precinct Committee Person. Each PCP is a voting member of the Central Committee of the county party. The Central Committee in each county is authorized to make all decisions relating to the Republican Party for their county.
Party members may file for election as PCPs in May Primary Elections or may be write-in candidates. Vacancies may be filled by appointment between elections at Central Committee Meetings.

Precinct Committee Person opportunities:
  • County Party voting delegate (at the Central Committee meetings)
  • Nominate candidates for Republican vacancies in state legislature or county commission.
  • Participate in County and State Platform Conventions
  • Elect County Central Committee Officers (Elected PCPs only)
  • Elect delegates to the State Central Committee
  • Elect delegates to the Republican National Presidential Convention
  • Voter contact*

Other important things PCPs can do…
  • Identify people to lobby elected officials
  • Identify high school students’ 18th birthdays
  • Recruit volunteers
  • Solicit small donations
  • Provide tax credit information
  • Get voters’ phone numbers and email addresses
  • Act as a resource whom voters in your precinct can contact for assistance.

*At important times, each PCP should contact the voters in their assigned precinct, by phone or door to door. They should establish a personal relationship with the voters in their precinct, and provide these voters with information on the Republican Party and its candidates, and provide the party and candidates with feedback from the voters.
PCPs are the true grass-roots power of the Republican Party. A PCP visit is often the most influential contact many voters will have during an election, making it an invaluable opportunity to win a Republican vote.
