GOAL OF THE PRECINCT CHAIR
The
primary goal of the Precinct Chair is be to build the Republican Party in their neighborhood. Each precinct chair needs
to be an expert on their area and what it takes for Republican candidates to win there.
The job is year round - not just
before an election.
Effective Precinct Chairs will:
1) increase the precincts turnout in the Republican Primary
2) increase the number of straight party ticket Republican votes cast in the General Election

Election Judge
The Precinct Chair
often serves as election Judge, or an election clerk, in their precinct. This is an excellent way to become familiar with
election procedures and get to know and be known by the voters.
