Washington State Democratic Party Precinct Committee Offi cer Handbook

Dear Precinct Committee Offi cer,

As a PCO you are the foundation of the Democratic Party, the organizing base of

all our activities. The structure of the Party rests upon your shoulders.

By stepping forward to organize your precinct, you have made the most important

commitment a Democrat can make. You have taken responsibility for delivering each and every

Democratic vote in your precinct on Election Day. It is an important responsibility and I thank you for

undertaking it.

This Handbook was written to assist you in your role as a PCO. It will answer many of your questions

about the structure of the Party organization, the duties and responsibilities of being a PCO, and the best

way to utilize available resources in order to effectively mobilize your precinct. Taking the time to read this

Handbook and using it as a reference during your time as a PCO will help elect Democrats at the local,

state, and national level.

Getting the crucial Democratic vote in your precinct begins long before Election Day. It requires

planning and preparation. You have to get to know your neighbors and determine whether they are

Democrats, Republicans, or Independents. You also need to educate the undecided or “swing” voters about

the Democratic candidates and the Democratic message and register any Democrats in your precinct who

are not currently registered. Your neighbors will also turn to you for information and insight on political

issues.

Another important aspect of serving as a PCO is being an active participant in your local Democratic

Party organization. Local Party organizations are a great resource for materials and ideas that will make you

a more effective PCO. They also serve to coordinate Democratic efforts in Legislative Districts and Counties

across the state. As a PCO you are eligible to stand for election as a Party offi cer in these organizations.

Just as your local Party organization is there for you, you need to be there for it. It is your responsibility to

attend local Democratic Party meetings and help your Party and Democratic Candidates raise money and

fi nd volunteers.

This Handbook will help you fulfi ll your responsibilities as a PCO and assist you in becoming an active

and effective member of your local Party organization. Your efforts will increase the Democratic vote and

help Democratic candidates statewide.

Your hard work and commitment are greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Dwight Pelz, Chair

There are just over 6 million people in Washington, and roughly 3.8 million of these individuals are registered

voters. The Democratic Party identifi es each of these individuals by the precinct, legislative district and county in

which they live. The Democratic organizations at each of these levels make up the structure of the Democratic Party.

Precincts and PCOs

The base unit of organization for the Democratic Party is the precinct. A precinct may contain several blocks in

an urban area or consist of a group of houses near one another in a more rural setting. There are roughly 6,600

precincts in the State of Washington.

The average number of registered voters in a precinct in Washington is 511, but most precincts range from 300 to

800 voters. There are 55 to 220 precincts and 49,000 to 86,000 registered voters in a legislative district.

The responsible Party offi cial at the precinct level is the Precinct Committee Offi cer (PCO). There are two

types of PCOs: Elected PCOs and Appointed PCOs.

• Elected PCOs are voted into offi ce during the primary election in even-numbered election years to serve

two-year terms.

• If no PCO is elected in a particular precinct, then a PCO can be appointed to serve in that precinct. For

more information about the requirements for becoming an appointed PCO, contact the Chair of your

county or legislative district organization.

Overview


Legislative District and County Organizations

There are 49 legislative districts and 39 counties in Washington. Each is represented by a Democratic Party

organization, which has the following characteristics:

• MEMBERS. Each legislative district and county organization is composed of elected and appointed PCOs

in addition to other active democrats and members of the community.

• ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Reorganization meetings, which occur in December or January after the

general election in even-numbered years, are where PCOs elect their local party leadership. Only precinct

committee offi cers elected during the primary election in an even number year are allowed to vote at

county and legislative district reorganization meetings for Chair, Vice Chair, State Committeewoman, State

Committeeman, and any representative the organization is authorized to send to other Party organizations,

and on the adoption or amendment of bylaws. Both elected and appointed PCOs are eligible to vote to fi ll

vacancies that occur in Party offi ces before the next reorganization meeting. The election of other offi cers is

dictated by the local Party organization’s charter and bylaws.

• MEETINGS. Most legislative district organizations hold monthly meetings. Most county organizations

hold quarterly meetings, although the executive board often meets monthly. These meetings are scheduled

for the purpose of sharing information about Party matters, current events and candidates. Offi cial “calls” to

these meetings are dictated by the bylaws of the organization but are often contained in a monthly newsletter

published by the Party organization.

• RESPONSIBILITIES. Legislative district and county organizations are responsible for supporting and

recruiting PCOs and recruiting and training volunteers for campaigns for the State House and State

Senate. They also raise funds to help fi nance these campaigns. One of the most important functions of the

Party organization is to fi ll vacancies on the Party ticket (see “The Role of the PCO in Filling Legislative

Vacancies” on page 3).

Washington State Democratic Central Committee

The Washington State Democratic Central Committee (WSDCC) is the state-wide Democratic Party organization.

The WSDCC consists of one male and one female State Committee Member from each county and legislative

district organization. The WSDCC is presided over by a Chair and other offi cers who are elected by the State

Committee Members at its reorganization meeting, held in odd-numbered years during the last weekend of January.

The WSDCC sets the tone for the Democratic Party in the State of Washington. It assists county and legislative

district organizations in supporting, recruiting, training, and fi nancing campaigns for state, legislative district and

county offi ce. It also takes the lead in recruiting and assisting Democratic candidates for federal and statewide offi ce.

The offi ces of the WSDCC are located at 615 2nd Ave., Suite 580 in Seattle, WA 98104. You can call them at

(206) 583-0664 or send mail to PO Box 4027, Seattle, WA 98104. For more information, go to http://www.wa-

democrats.org.

Democratic National Committee

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is the national Democratic Party organization. The DNC is

composed of members elected from each state. Two men and two women from Washington are elected to serve

four-year terms as DNC members by the WSDCC at the January meeting in Presidential election years. The State

Party Chair and Vice Chair are also members of the DNC. The DNC is presided over by a Chair and other offi cers

elected by its members.

The DNC takes the lead in setting the Democratic agenda for the nation. They support the President when he or

she is a Democrat and lead the opposition when Republicans control the White House.

You can call them at (202) 863-8000 or send mail to 430 S. Capitol St. SE, Washington, DC 20003. For more

information, go to http://www.democrats.org.

The Role of the PCO in Filling Legislative Vacancies

Each PCO is a member of the legislative district and county organization and is empowered by

the State Constitution to do the following:

4 The county organization nominates people for appointment to partisan county offi ces

and legislative offi ces in districts entirely within the county if an incumbent of the Party

resigns.

4 For legislative districts containing

parts of two or more counties,

the PCOs from that district can

nominate people for appointment

to legislative offi ces if any

incumbent of the Party resigns.


CONGRESSIONAL

DISTRICT CAUCUS

Caucus and Convention Cycle

Caucuses and conventions are held in even-numbered years. The diagram shows the structure of the caucus and convention

cycle. Congressional District Caucuses and the National Convention are held only in presidential election years. During

presidential election years, delegates are selected based on their presidential candidate preference.

At the caucuses and conventions, the following occurs:

• PRECINCT CAUCUS. Local Party organizations hold precinct caucuses, where attendees select delegates. They

must be held in wheelchair-accessible locations. Therefore, most precinct caucuses are held in appointed locations,

rather than in private homes.

• COUNTY CONVENTION. Delegates from the precinct caucuses discuss local issues and candidates, adopt a

county platform and pass resolutions, which are submitted to the Platform Committee of the state convention.

• LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT CAUCUS. Delegates from the precinct caucuses elect delegates to the state

convention, adopt a legislative district platform and pass resolutions, which are submitted to the Platform Committee

of the state convention. In presidential election years, the delegates they elect are also delegates to the congressional

district caucuses.

• CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT CAUCUS. In presidential election years only, delegates from the legislative

district caucuses elect delegates to the national convention. Each congressional district will elect three to seven

delegates to the national convention based on prior democratic performance in that district.

• STATE CONVENTION. Delegates from the legislative district caucuses discuss and vote on a State Party

Platform, vote on resolutions submitted from county conventions and legislative district caucuses, and make

decisions regarding Party governance. In presidential election years, they elect additional delegates to the

national convention.

• NATIONAL CONVENTION. In presidential election years, the DNC holds a convention to adopt a platform

and nominate a Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidate. It also conducts other Party business, such as adopting

resolutions.

Your Responsibilities

As a PCO, you are the foundation of the Democratic Party. The structure of the Party rests on your shoulders. It is

important that you take the job of being a PCO seriously.

PCOs do their job best if they are the peers and neighbors of the people they represent. If you move from the

precinct in which you are a PCO, contact the Chair of your legislative district or county organization and submit

a letter of resignation so that a resident of the precinct can be appointed to serve as the PCO for that precinct. The

new PCO should be someone that you have identifi ed as a potential leader of the Party.

Basic Responsibilities

PCOs have the following basic responsibilities:

• Canvass or telephone your precinct in coordination with election strategy at least once a year.

• Coordinate with campaigns in educating voters and generating interest in the election on behalf of

candidates and ballot measures.

• Attend the legislative district and county organization meetings. Each legislative district and county

organization specifi es the duties and responsibilities they expect of you.

Additional Responsibilities

The following additional duties and responsibilities are commonly assigned to PCOs:

• Obtain a list of registered voters in your precinct from your legislative district or county organization, called

a walking list. Speak to your Chair about obtaining an online Voterfi le account (see “The Online Voterfi le”

on page 13).

• Deliver campaign materials to voters.

• Make sure Democratic voters are registered and that infrequent voters vote.

• Canvass your precinct during elections to make sure that Democratic voters in your precinct have voted.

• Maintain, update and provide a copy of the contact and registration information for registered voters in

your precinct. Useful information includes telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, age, ethnicity and issues

important to the voter.

• Keep informed on current issues and candidates.

• Have a working knowledge and understanding of the Party Platform. The State Party Platform is available at

http://www.wa-democrats.org.

• Chair your precinct caucus (see “The Caucus and Convention Cycle” on page 4).

• Help fi ll vacancies (see “The Role of the PCO in Filling Legislative Vacancies” on page 3).

Using Walking Lists

You should have a fi rm grasp of all that is included in your walking list. A sample walking list can be found on page

16. Your walking list contains valuable and interesting information. The header has your county, your precinct

name, precinct number and what is on that page of the walk list (street name, and odd or even if applicable).

The names and addresses of the registered voters in your precinct are listed. They are usually grouped by street and

listed by household in order to make it easier for you to walk your precinct. The following fi elds are available for

each voter:

• Age: The age of the voter.

• Sex: Sex or gender of the voter.

• Party: The likely party for the voter (see “Likely Party” section next page)

• VH-G, VH-P: Indicates how many recent elections the individual has voted in. “G” stands for even-year

general elections, and “P” stands for even-year primary elections. These columns will help you identify

infrequent voters. You can make a big difference in an election if you get infrequent voters to vote.

• Reg Date: The date the voter registered.

• Phone: The voter’s telephone number.

REMEMBER

If there is a fi eld that is blank on your walking list, make an effort to fi nd the missing information. Take note if

voters have moved into or out of your precinct or if voters have passed away. Report the updated information to

your legislative district and county organization and in vote builder so that they can keep track of the changes.

This information is crucial to Democratic success on Election Day. As a PCO, you can best ensure that the data is

accurate and up to date!

What To Do at the Door

Hopefully you’ve planned your fi rst walk of your precinct well in advance of Election Day. The job of a PCO is far

too important to leave to the last minute. Give yourself plenty of time to get to know your precinct and the voters

living there. It’s also important that the voters get to know you. A good step in this process is to establish yourself

as a neighbor. This helps put people at ease and opens the door to further conversation. Start with something like,

“Hi, I’m Ben Fitch, and I live on 11th Ave. I’m the Democratic Precinct Committee Offi cer elected/appointed to

represent our precinct. Is Jennifer Blackwood here?” (Be sure to ask for the voter by name.)

Gather information by asking the voter basic questions. This will help break the ice and get the conversation

fl owing. These questions should be based upon the information you already have about them on your walking list or

from previous conversations. Keep the conversation light and avoid arguments.

Below are a few examples of opening questions for different types of voters:

• Unknown and No Data voters. “I’m talking with neighbors in out precinct to fi nd out a little more about

their politics. Do you consider yourself a Democrat, Republican, or Independent?”


6


• Independent voters. If the person seems uninterested or unwilling to label themselves politically, try to

engage them in a conversation about issues. You can begin by asking, “What issues generally motivate you to

support or oppose a candidate for offi ce?”

• Leaning voters (LD or LR). Ask them the same basic questions you would ask unknown voters to learn

more about their preferences.

• Democrats (SD or LD). Talk to them more about the Democratic Party to get an idea if they would be

interested in any of the following:

4 Joining the local Party organization

4 Putting a sign in their yard for a Democratic candidate

4 Making a contribution to the Party or a Democratic candidate

• Republicans (SR). Confi rm that they are Republicans before writing off these voters and not going

to their doors.

At the Door – Important Tips

• Leave materials at someone’s door if they are not home. Never leave materials in the mailbox. Doing this

is against the law.

• Avoid doorbelling during the dinner hour, before 10am, after 9pm and after dark.

• Some PCOs like to campaign. This is fi ne, but some prefer to let the literature do the campaigning.

• Be courteous, fl exible and brief.

• If someone asks you a question, don’t be afraid to say that you don’t know the answer. Try to fi nd the answer

for them and make sure to follow up on this commitment.


7

WHAT DECIDES A LIKELY PARTY

On your walking list “Likely Party” is a designation of how we think a voter will vote

SD – Strong Democrat. An individual who has been identifi ed as a Democrat in multiple races.

LD – Likely Democrat. An individual who has been identifi ed as a Democrat but not as often as an

SD or not 100% of the time as a Democrat.

ID, I, IR – Independent Democrat, Independent, Independent Republican. An individual who has been

identifi ed as an independent or as a Democrat in some races and Republican in others.

LR – Likely Republican. An individual who mirrors the LD except as a Republican.

SR – Strong Republican. An individual who has been identifi ed as a Republican in multiple races.

U – Unknown. An individual who has been canvassed but not often enough to determine a likely party.

ND – No Data. An individual who we have not identifi ed the likely party of at all.


More Tips

This section contains tips that you should remember when you approach your neighbors for the fi rst time and as

you develop your relationship with them.

Make Sure To Follow Up

The key to success is letting the voter know that you are there for them. Plan to follow up with them in the future.

There are several ways you can do this successfully:

• Follow up with your County Auditor or your Voterfi le coordinator to check on changes in voting status (see

contact information for County Auditors on page 18). Make sure that anyone who says that they would sign

up to vote by mail does so. If they don’t, bring them another application.

• Drop off a volunteer form to anyone interested in joining the Party (see page 17).

• Call undecided voters to see if they have any questions.

• Deliver additional information to Independent voters or Likely Democrat voters.

• Call known Democratic voters to remind them to vote.

• Call known Democrats and anyone else who may be interested to let them know about special political

events in the area.

Canvass by Phone

If you live in a rural area or a precinct with many inaccessible apartment buildings, telephoning voters may be the

best way to accomplish your canvassing goals.

To fi nd the phone numbers of the voters in your precinct, you can use the online Voterfi le (see “The Online

Voterfi le” on page 13). After you log on to your account, look at the Phone List to fi nd voters’ phone numbers.

Search voters without phone numbers to see which voters we don’t have numbers for. If you fi nd these voters’ phone

numbers, enter them into the Voterfi le. By entering phone numbers into the Voterfi le, you are providing campaigns

and other institutions with incredibly useful information.


8


Approach the voter like you would if you were going door to door. The following is a sample script to use when

canvassing by phone:

“Hello, I’m __________, your Democratic Precinct Committee Offi cer. I’m calling people in our neighborhood to

fi nd out a little about their interest in politics. I’m wondering, do you generally consider yourself a Democrat or a

Republican?”

If they answer “Democrat” – “We’re conducting a registration drive and would like to inquire if you are a registered

voter. Is there anyone currently in your family or household that needs to be registered to vote?”

If they answer “Republican” – “Thank you for your time, and have a good day!”

Carefully note all information that you receive and politely thank the voter at the end of the conversation. If the

voter becomes irritable, politely thank the person, terminate the call and note their response so that the voter is not

approached again.

Locked Buildings

Locked apartment buildings make it diffi cult to canvass. Try to fi nd a friend inside to let you in or escort you

around the building. Usually at least one voter or manager will let you in if you contact them over the intercom.

One approach is to say, “I’m __________, your Democratic Precinct Committee Offi cer, and I have some

literature for your registered voters.”

If all else fails, leave your literature by the mailboxes or the entrances. Do not leave them in the mailboxes.

Sometimes you will get a good response if you leave a note with each packet, giving your name and contact

information. If you cannot canvass these buildings, consider doing a telephone canvass of registered voters

in the building.

Beyond the Precinct Get Out the Vote (GOTV)

Most GOTV efforts are coordinated with political campaigns, legislative district organizations or country

organizations. The Washington State Democrats have a very effective and comprehensive GOTV effort during the

election season that is run by the Coordinated Campaign.

GOTV and Your Precinct

Your involvement in the GOTV effort is crucial to electing Democrats at the local, state and national level. One

way to help is to ask voters in your precinct, during your early canvassing activities, if they would be interested in

assisting with GOTV efforts during the election season. Developing a group of committed volunteers and activists

in your precinct will prove invaluable to the GOTV effort. These people will be able to help by making phone calls

and poll watching.

GOTV Phone Calls

As Election Day approaches, it is important to contact Democratic

voters in your precinct and make sure that they vote. One way to

do this is by phone. Begin making these phone calls 21 days before

Election Day, because absentee ballots are mailed at this time. You

can use the data on your walking list to see who votes absentee.

The following is a sample script for GOTV phone calls:

“Hello, I’m ________, your Democratic Precinct Committee

Offi cer (or precinct worker). Your vote is very important, and

I’m calling to remind you to vote/mail in your ballot.”

If the person has already voted – “Thank you for voting,

and have a nice day!”

If the person hasn’t voted – “Your vote is very important.

We have elections in our area that may be determined by

just a few votes. Please mail in your ballot today.”

Be prepared for any questions the person may have.

Make sure you know the polling location for your

precinct and the address of your auditor, where

people can mail in their ballots (see “County

Auditors and Elections Departments” on page 18).

Remind absentee voters that their ballots must be

postmarked by midnight of Election Day.

Beyond the Precinct


The State Party and You

Affi liated Groups

There are many groups affi liated with the State Party who can help you and provide you with resources. Remember:

you are not alone!

Grassroots Democrats

The Grassroots Democrats is a group of volunteers primarily based in King County from the 2004 election who has

worked with the State Party since March 2005. Their goal is to connect our community of capable and committed

volunteers and make sure that they have the best experience possible. They know from personal experience what

worked and what didn’t in 2004, and they want to use that knowledge to ensure we have a strong and unifi ed corps

of grassroots volunteers.

The Grassroots Democrats have the following goals:

• Encourage people to become active in the Democratic Party

• Work with the Coordinated Campaign to ensure successful volunteer involvement in election and campaign

activities

• Connect people with their legislative district and county organizations and other Democratic activities

• Support legislative district and county organizations

A volunteer form is included on page 17.

You can distribute this form to people you

know who want to volunteer for the Party. This

form ensures that the Grassroots Democrats and

your local Party organizations understand information

about the volunteer, such as their availability,

skills and interests. The more we understand each

individual, the better equipped we are to make sure

they have a good experience! You can mail the form

to P.O. Box 4027, Seattle WA 98194 and contact

the Grassroots Democrats by calling the State Party

offi ces at (206) 583-0664 or emailing them at

[email protected].

The State Party and You: The Years of Grassroots


Young Democrats

The mission of the Young Democrats of Washington State is to draw people who are 35 and younger into the

Party and help them stay involved and engaged. If you meet young people in your precinct who are interested in

becoming more active with the Party, encourage them to contact the Young Democrats.

Also, Young Democrats may be willing and eager to assist you and your legislative district or county organization.

Consider contacting the Young Democrats if you need help. Young Democrats often have an amazing amount of

energy and a more fl exible schedule than others involved with the Party. Many college campuses, for example, have

a Young Democrats chapter that you may want to use as a resource.

For more information about Young Democrats, go to http://www.ydwa.org or e-mail [email protected]. For

information on joining, e-mail [email protected].

Remember Your Local Party

If you have problems or need help or resources, your fi rst point of contact should be your legislative district or

county organization. They may best understand your needs or have access to information that we have distributed

to Party leadership. For current contact information for county organizations and chairs, go to http://www.wa-

democrats.org/countyorgs. For current contact information for legislative district organizations and chairs, go to

http://www.wa-democrats.org/ldorgs. Feel free to contact the State Party or one of these other groups if your local

organization can’t help you.

TechnologyThe Online Voterfi le

The Voterfi le is a powerful online tool that allows you to download walking lists and phone lists for your precinct.

Campaigns and other groups also use the Voterfi le for mailings, door-to-door and phone canvassing, and other

related activities. You can also help make the data in the Voterfi le better by updating and correcting information

about voters. Don’t hesitate to e-mail [email protected] or call the tech department at (206) 583-0664 if

you need any help.

What Is the Voterfi le?

The Voterfi le is the list of registered voters in Washington provided by the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State

provides us with basic information, such as name, address and age. The DNC, campaigns and people like you help

us get more in-depth information about voters. We rely on your help to get the following information, which helps

us to better target voters:

• Phone numbers

• Changes of address

• Political affi liation

How To Use the Voterfi le

Each PCO has a Voterfi le account that gives you access to information about the voters in your precinct. You can

print walking lists and phone lists and view detailed information about the voters in your precinct.

Access and use your account:

1. Go to your county or legislative district chair for your account information.

2. Using the Internet, go to http://votebuilder.com
