Become a Precinct Committeeman
We do not have to look far to see the value of the two-party system in either local or national politics. Without a balance of ideologies, dialogue and compromise disappear.
When you become a precinct Committeeman (PC), you have the opportunity to make an impact in your community. As a PC, you’ll:
Get connected with neighbors and party leadership
Work together to help candidates, register voters and recruit other volunteers.
Meet candidates and office holders throughout the year.
Learn how to be the link with your neighborhood on issues important to your community.
Become the public relations contact for your neighborhood.
Develop your own marketing ideas and databases so each election cycle becomes easier.
Precinct Committeemen are either elected or appointed with important distinctions between the two. Carefully review the information below to get a better understanding of each.
Elected Precinct Committeeman
Every two years (in even-year election cycles), any registered Republican can circulate a petition in their respective precinct, gathering 10 signatures from other registered Republicans. This petition, along with a signed affidavit, may then be submitted to the Pima County Elections Division, your local Republican Party office, or given to a representative within your legislative district, if available.
Keep in mind the following:
You must be a registered Republican and living in the precinct for which you’re applying.
All signatures must be from registered Republicans in your precinct.
Each precinct is allotted at least one PC, however this number can increase based on the number of its registered Republican voters.
For ever 125 registered Republican voters, the allotment increases by one. For example: if there are 1,000 registered Republicans in a given precinct, the allotment for that precinct would be eight.
Petitions may be submitted regardless of whether the precinct has any openings. If more Republicans submit petitions than available allotted positions, each person who submitted a petition is then be placed on the Primary Election Ballot in August. Your neighbors then vote for who they would like representing them in their precinct.
Important distinctions:
Elected PCs are the only PCs who can elect legislative district and county executive committees, and are the only ones who may be voted into those offices. Getting elected as a PC is also the only pathway to become elected as a State Committeeman.
Applications for Election
Petition to become an Elected PC: Partisan Nomination Petition
Affidavit : Partisan Nomination Declaration of Qualification
Appointed Precinct Committeeman
Some PCs do not participate in the election process, but are instead appointed into open positions by the Pima County Board of Supervisors at their next official meeting, after the party submits the nomination form.
Keep in mind the following:
You must be a registered Republican and living in the precinct for which you’re applying.
You must fill out the green application form and turn it into the Pima County Republican Party office.
Party officials will look on the latest voter registration database to verify your name, address, and party.
Each Legislative District Chair will then give consent to have you as a PC in the district.
Each application must then be signed by the County Chairman.
The application is then forwarded to the Pima County Elections Department where it will again be checked against the latest voter database to ensure applicant is a registered Republican at the address indicated on the form.
Your application, once approved by Elections, is forwarded to the Clerk of the Board of the Pima County Board of Supervisors. She adds your name to the agenda for the next Board of Supervisors’ meeting.
The Supervisors vote at the meeting to appoint you as a PC.
When successful, you will be notified by the Party and by Elections of your appointment.
Important distinctions: An appointed PC cannot vote to elect legislative district or county executive committees. If there is an opening on any of those boards, you may have the opportunity to be appointed to those positions at a later date.
