What is a precinct chair and how do I become one?
A precinct chair is a local leader elected to represent and organize Republican voters within their voting precinct. They assist with voter outreach, support GOP candidates, and serve as a vital link between the county party and the community.
To become a precinct chair, you must live in the precinct and be a registered Republican voter. If the position is vacant, you can be appointed by the county executive committee. If it’s filled, you can run in the next primary election. Contact us to check availability and learn more about the process.
