TIME TO FILE FOR PRECINCT CHAIRS:

Last week filing began for Democratic Precinct Chair -- the position Harry Truman said was the most important in the party (and when it comes to increasing voter turnout, he has been proven right many times). There is no filing fee, but applicants do have to fill out a form and get it notarized, then turn it into the county party. Our executive director there, Steve Tillery, is a notary, and has forms available. The office also sent a form to incumbents (yes, they have to file again every two years). Or you can print the form from the Secretary of State's Elections Division's web site (in a two-page pdf at this page).
