In Columbia County the Democratic Party's organizational arm is the County Democratic Committee. Every four years, at the same time the Democrats select their candidate for Governor, Democratic electors in each election district also choose the Democrats they wish to represent them on the County Committee for the next four years. The number of Committee People in a district depends on the number of registered Democrats in that district.
As a committee person you serve as the link between your democratic neighbors and the Committee, you measure your neighbors needs and opinions and share them with the fellow members of the committee. Members of the committee strengthen the party by registering new voters, urging their friends and neighbors to become active members, promote the policies and candidates of the Democratic Party, and solicit contributions for the local democratic organization. Committee members help recruit candidates for public office, introduce candidates to voters in their districts, distribute candidate information and leaflets, and circulate nomination petitions for Democratic Candidates.
By Election day the Committe Person has garnerd volunteers to help them. The most important job is Poll watcher. Poll Watchers sit inside the polling place and check off democratic voters as they come in. This information is used throughout the day to remind potential voters where their polling place is, when it closes, or even that it is election day. You should also find a volunteer to drive voters who have no way to get to their polling place.
