The foundation of the Democratic Party of York County are precinct committee people.

 

Every four years, during the gubernatorial primary election cycle, precinct committee people are elected in every voting precinct, in every county in Pennsylvania.  Two registered Democrats from each precinct can be elected and win this seat.

They are responsible for working with candidates to get the word out about their campaigns, they help register new voters, they work the polls to help convince undecided voters about their choices and they are the voice of the Democratic Party in their precinct.
