Free Resources for PCP’s and Future Candidates
Sign up to receive updates on our effort to share information across Kansas. Our mission it to recruit and train Precinct Committee Persons, to help county parties increase voter turnout for Democratic candidates. Below are some upcoming events built to help you become a more knowledgable and effective Precinct Committee Person!
What is a Precinct Leader?
How do Democrats go about “getting out the vote?” They find the Democrats in their local precincts and remind them to vote, talk with them about the importance of voting, register them if need be, and offer them a ride to the polls if they can’t make it there by themselves. It isn’t hard. It takes only a few hours each month. Shawnee County has many vacant precinct committee positions that need filled. Find the most current list of Democratic Precinct Men and Women on the Shawnee County Election Office website. Don’t know your precinct number? Look it up on the precinct maps. Volunteer to be the voice of change in your neighborhood.
As a precinct volunteer, your responsibility is to:
- Make contact with Democrats in your precinct by going door-to-door, by postcard, by hosting a block party, or by doing whatever works for you.
- Support the endorsed candidates of the Democratic Party.
- Attend a short training session.
- GET OUT THE VOTE!
You can also read the role of a precinct committee person in our bylaws (Addendum 3 pg 14.)
Download this form to signup to be a precinct leader. You can bring it to our office for notarization. You can also have it notarized elsewhere and mail it to the Shawnee County Election Office.

Find the Ward Captain with the corresponding Ward number in the Ward Captain List and email that person directly. If you are unable to contact your Ward Captain please email us via the “Stay in Touch” window on this page. We will make sure your message gets to the right person.
