File for PCO!

The Primary Election in August is where the Democratic Party elects our Precinct Committee Officers. These are the leaders who cast critical votes during our reorganization meetings, nominate official candidates for partisan positions and fill those positions when a vacancy occurs. They also convene the Precinct Caucuses during Presidential years.


We need someone in every precinct. Please check our PCO list. If you live in a precinct with an established PCO, please remind them to file! (Contact our Chair if you would like their contact information.) If you live in a precinct without a PCO, please file for the position yourself!


How to file for PCO


First, check to see if your precinct has had someone file. You are still able to file, but if someone has filed in your precinct and you are willing to serve we need your help in a neighboring precinct. To see if someone has filed, you can go to this page hosted by the 41st LD. You can also check the list of precincts where no one has filed yet and look for yours. You will only be able to officially file for your own precinct. We will be able to make appointments of PCOs after the reorganization in January.


King County Elections has launched a web page so that PCO candidates may file electronically. Click here to go to file electronically from 9:00am Monday June 7th to 4:00pm Friday June 11th. Please click here for more information.


If you prefer to file in person, here is a link to the PCO Candidacy Form. Please fill this out and take it in person down to King County Elections before Friday, June 11th at 4pm.
