Our Mission
To educate and motivate Republican Precinct Committeemen to enable them to elect Republicans
to office at all levels of government.
There are 30 Legislative Districts in Arizona. Each one is comprised of a number of voting precincts based on the number of registered Republicans living therein as established by law for election purposes. Each precinct is entitled to one Precinct Committeeman from each major party. An additional committeeman is authorized for every 125 voters registered in the party in the precinct.
The precinct committeemen are elected by voters in their voting precinct every 2 years. They may also be appointed.
Precinct Committeemen
A precinct committeeman is the only party official directly elected by the Republican voters.
Precinct committeemen represent the Republican party to the people. They are the primary contacts between voters, candidates and elected officials. It is their job to make sure the Republicans in their precincts are informed and prepared to get their vote to the ballot box.
A precinct is the smallest, yet most important political subdivision in Arizona. Technically, a precinct is a geographical area established by law for election purposes.
Multiple precincts make up a district. Districts are established by the state legislature in accordance with state law and with attention to registered party affiliations and geographical considerations.
As a precinct committeeman you will have the opportunity to attend many party functions. From regular district meetings to county meetings and state meetings; you will be kept abreast of party activities and issues.
Openings for precinct committeemen are filled in one of two ways: candidates running for offices in the primary elections every two years or appointment by the district leadership.
