What are the responsibilities of a Precinct Chair?
Getting people in your precinct involved
- It’s usually much easier to work with others rather than doing tasks on your own. This is especially crucial as a Precinct Chair, since your major responsibility is to get as many people in your precinct to cast ballots for the GOP in elections. The greatest approach to act is to be interested in the election. Get individuals invested in the following areas where they have a lot of passion. Volunteers are typically small starters who build up their commitment as they become more involved in something. So get them involved in any aspect of working your precinct that you can, whether it’s through volunteering or anything else. If you’re planning a baby shower, make sure to take advantage of the services provided by a professional. Don’t forget to ask them to assist. Most individuals will help with something little. Once they are involved, the most dedicated will continue asking for more tasks to perform.
Identifying voters
- Make an effort to get to know your precinct’s voters. Be the first to welcome new people and let them know you are their Republican Precinct Chairman, which might lead to a conversation about their political views. Learn who your regular Republican supporters are so you can rely on them. Knowing who is a “swing voter” or who does not usually vote allows you to persuade them to support the Republican Party. Also, find out who the Democrats are so that you can establish connections and have conversations with them that may persuade them to change their perspective. The DCRP headquarters or the “GOP Data Center” may be used to obtain lists of voters. This process, which involves identifying and recording individuals’ addresses, is known as “canvassing.””
Registering voters
- Always be prepared to become a Deputy Voter Registrar (DVR) and register a Republican to vote. DVRs receive training and take an oath from the county Voter Registrar, after which they are permitted to accept a new voter’s completed registration form and deliver it to the Supervisor of Elections. For further information, contact your local Supervisor of Elections.
Informing voters
- You must be the political leader in your community. Keep in touch with local Republicans and let them know about current political events, issues, future elections, and ways to get involved with the party, clubs, or campaigns. To decorate your precinct, distribute campaign literature, bumper stickers, and yard signs.
Turning out voters
- This is the final stage of our discussion about determining who your supporters are and how to reach out to them! At this point, you’ve identified your voters, registered them to vote, and kept them well-informed on political issues. It’s time to make all of that count – get them to the polls to vote Republican! Walking door-to-door (“block walking”) and making phone calls are the most common tactics that encourage people to go to the polls. Assist those who need to submit an absentee ballot by mail (for assistance, contact your County Clerk). Offer to go with neighbors to the polling station or drive those who need a ride. Efforts to get voters to vote are frequently referred to as “Get-Out-The-Vote” campaigns or “GOTV.”
