Precinct Committee Officers (PCO)
Being a Precinct Committee Officer (PCO) is one of the most important roles in our party. As a PCO, you are on the front lines of winning elections up and down the ballot – from the School Board to the Senate. Here’s what PCOs do:
HOW DO I BECOME A PCO?
You can be elected to a 2-year term as PCO by your neighbors in
the August primary in even-numbered years. To do so, you’ll need to file to run for PCO with your county auditor.
Don’t worry: it’s fast, free, and you can do it online: But don’t worry if you missed the election. If there’s no Democratic PCO in your precinct, your local Democratic party Chair can appoint you as a PCO. Contact your chair HERE.

help fill vacancies in elected office, and lead their precinct caucus every two years. - Becoming a PCO is one of the most important roles you can play in helping Democrats win up and down the

Precinct Map (Okanogan County)
Okanogan County has about 240 precincts - the most of any rural county in the State. Most of our precincts have anywhere from 50-250 voters. While our goal is to have a PCO for every precinct, the reality is that neither major political party has been able to accomplish this in recent years. Below is a list of the current PCO's whose term runs from December 1, 2022 - November 30, 2024.
