What is a PCP and how can i get involved?
A Precinct Committee Person (PCP)—also known as a Precinct Captain—is the Democratic Party’s grassroots representative for each voting precinct in Stephenson County. PCPs are the vital link between voters and the Stephenson County Democratic Party, helping share information, build relationships, and strengthen our presence in every neighborhood. With today’s communication tools, anyone can serve effectively—regardless of physical or financial limitations.
PCPs are elected every two years during the Primary Election by filing a simple petition with signatures. If a precinct has no elected PCP, the Stephenson County Democratic Chair may appoint someone to fill the vacancy—even if they live outside that precinct.
What PCPs Do
Year-Round Responsibilities
- Attend monthly SCDP Central Committee meetings (2nd Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., in person or via Zoom)
- Assist with voter registration
- Circulate petitions for Democratic candidates
- Share information about upcoming elections
- Distribute mail-in and absentee ballot applications
- Participate in SCDP and community events
During Election Season
- Help with Get Out the Vote efforts using targeted voter lists
- Support a wide range of volunteer needs leading up to Election Day
