2019 is not a big election year,...except for here! This year we will elect new county party officers and precinct leadership. The precincts start first.
The local voting precinct is the smallest subset of politics in the party, but definitely the most powerful. This is basically neighbors working with neighbors in their immediate community to organize and make change. 2019 is an election year for our local precincts, so each precinct will need to be organized and officers and delegates elected.
Come to the monthly meeting to learn more about precinct organization and how to get involved. Wilkes has difficulty organizing all our precincts, so we need all current 28 precinct leaders or interested persons to come to the meeting if they need more information. Each current precinct chair should have already received a pdf with the organization requirements and their precinct's sustaining fund goal (based on the numbers of votes cast in their precinct for the last governor's election.)
This packet included:
1) How many convention votes each precinct will get at the county convention to vote for Wilkes Democratic Party Officers at the Wilkes County Convention in March.
2) How many delegates you'll elect from each precinct (some precincts require as many as 7 to be fully organized.)
3) Your precinct's sustaining fund goal to the state NC Democratic party (goes to access for software use and other support) We will do a county-wide precinct organization meeting for maximum efficiency on Saturday, February 16th at 10amat the Wilkes County Agricultural building. It's a great time to get together with all of Wilkes County's precincts represented.
If you are a precinct chair and did NOT receive this packet, please contact us immediately or pick yours up at the January monthly meeting.
