About PCOs

Precinct Committee Officers (PCOs) are elected officials of the Party. As a PCO, you are the primary conduit between voters in your neighborhood and the Republican Party. Becoming active with your local Republican organization will make you a more effective PCO, and make a real difference in your community.

The most important day-to-day job of a PCO is talking to your neighbors. Your conversations with voters in your neighborhood help you represent them effectively at local party meetings, and provide us with important information for identifying the key voters in your area and reaching out to them effectively during campaigns.

Being a PCO is a great way to “build our bench” of future candidates. After actively participating in your party, making connections in your community, and learning about campaigns, you may decide to run for one of the 2000+ elected positions in Washington!

PCO responsibilities include:

Knock on your neighbors’ doors (or call them) to build relationships with voters in your neighborhood.

Educate undecided or swing voters.

Identify Democrats and Republicans.

Ensure Republicans are registered to vote.

Find out what issues motivate your neighbors, and share that information with local parties and campaigns.

Ensure the voices of voters are heard in local party decisions.

Communicate regularly with your local chair or PCO coordinator.

Coordinate with campaigns in educating voters and generating interest in an election on behalf of candidates and ballot measures.

Increase Republican voter turnout.

Remind voters to return ballots.

Attend legislative district and/or county reorganization meetings.

Nominate candidates for office in partisan races:

The State Party’s Rules for Nominations give local PCOs the power to choose the party’s nominees.

Participate in the appointment process when vacancies occur in partisan offices:

When a vacancy occurs, PCOs choose which candidates are submitted to the county council for appointment.

Participate in the candidate, proposition and ballot issue endorsement process:

PCOs are voting members who vote on the recommendations of your local organization. Check your bylaws for more information on this process.

Chair your precinct caucus during presidential election years under the direction of your local party chair. All this hard work adds up to precinct-by-precinct victories and the election of Republican candidates.
