It's free and it is fun to be a Democratic Committeeman or Committeewoman, and it's good for our country. You can be the male or female Democratic representative, otherwise known as "Precinct Captain," for your precinct within the County Democratic Party.

As elected Committeewoman or Committeeman, your vote will be counted in the County Democratic Executive Committee (DEC) organizational meeting election in December, 2008. According to Democratic bylaws, only elected members of the County Committee are eligible to hold office within the party or to vote for Officers at that organizational meeting. The County Committee (e.g., the Broward County Democratic Executive Committee) is the same thing as the (e.g., Broward) County Democratic Party.

The majority of positions are unopposed. However, if someone else does file for the Committeewoman or Committeeman position in your precinct, you will be opposed and your name and the name of your opponent(s) will be on the official ballot for the August 26, 2008 election. You can campaign for your neighbors' votes. The winner(s) will be decided by plurality for the positions Committeewoman and Committeeman, respectively. All Democrats in your precinct may vote for both Committeewoman and Committeeman, along with other official candidates running for other local and state offices. Some precincts which are large (more than 1000 registered Democrats) have 2 positions for Committeeman and 2 positions for Committeewoman.
