WHAT IS A PRECINCT?

• A precinct is the basic unit of voters. Your precinct determines your polling place.
• There are 249 precincts in Macomb County and we want at least one Democrat Precinct Delegate on the ballot in every one of them. 
• Every election begins at the precinct. If you want to win the election, you’ve got to win the precincts.

YOUR PRECINCT NEEDS YOU!

WHAT IS A PRECINCT DELEGATE?

A Precinct Delegate is the grassroots representative of the Michigan Democratic Party (MDP) in their local voting precinct. As the foundation of the Democratic movement, Precinct Delegates connect voters in their neighborhood with the party, mobilize Democratic turnout, and help shape the future of the party at the local, state, and national levels.

PRECINCT DELEGATE PERKS

• When candidates reach out to Macomb Dems and want to get to know Macomb County, the Precinct Delegate list is one of the first lists we send them — it’s not often you get to have one-on-one conversations with candidates! 
• Macomb Dems often receives seats to cool events when fancy folks are in town campaigning — Precinct Delegates get first dibs on those seats!
• In order to vote at any democratic party meetings or conventions – you MUST be a member of the MDP 30-days in advance… but the 30-day requirement is waived for Precinct Delegates. You still have to join the MDP, but you can do so the day-of and are eligible to vote! (But please, do not procrastinate your membership!!)

HOW DO I BECOME A PRECINCT DELEGATE?

To become a precinct delegate you must file a form with the COUNTY CLERK’s office to RUN for the office of Precinct Delegate. Your name will be on the August 2026 Primary Election ballot (which is pretty cool!)
If you win your election then you are the precinct delegate for your neighborhood until August 2028.
Below is a link to the form from the Secretary of State’s office as well as a link to a guide to help you fill out the form.
