Important Note: Ballots not in the mail by Friday May 16 must be hand delivered
to the County Elections Office or Desiganted Drop-Off Station!
If you still wish to become an elected PCP and have not yet turned in your ballot,
be sure to WRITE IN YOUR NAME and get TWO ADDITIONAL VOTERS to do the same!
Write-in candidates need only gather a minimum of 3 votes to be in the running for the coveted PCP post, and be eligible for election. Click Read More for details.
Here’s what to do:
- KNOW your precinct number. (after getting your lot, click on District Overlay Info)
- Write your name in on the ballot, exactly as you are registered, in the write-in slot under your Precinct.
- Have your housemates and/or neighbors write in your name under your Precinct.
- Be sure you complete the post-election acceptance form sent to you by Washington County Elections, and return it to Elections as directed. You should receive this sometime in June, and you must return it in a timely manner.
TIPS:
* Give your neighbors a card with your name AND precinct number on it so they spell your name right, and write you in under the correct precinct.
* Most Precincts have plenty of PCP slots open in which the minimum of 3 votes will get you in, but running for PCP is a perfect ice-breaker for the upcoming election season, and a great way to introduce yourself to your neighbors.
* Neighborhood Leaders signed up in the new Democratic Neighbor to Neighbor Program should especially consider filing.
Remember, all politics begins at home, and its up to us to make our home and our County a better community for its citizens.
If all this is a moot point, be sure to fill out an application at the next Central Committee meeting and you can be appointed to the position.
