CCDC Areas and Area Leaders

The Cumberland County Democratic Committee is divided into 11 Areas. These Areas correspond with the local school district serving those areas.

Area Leaders coordinate and promote Democratic voter registration and campaign activities in their area. They work with the Precinct Committee Persons (PCPs) in their area and keep them informed of the actions of the CCDC Executive Committee. Area Leaders also report monthly to the CCDC Executive Committee on the programs and projects being conducted in their area.

Precinct Committee Person (PCP)

The precinct is the most important voting and organizational unit within the Democratic party. Each precinct corresponds to one polling place where residents of that precinct go to vote. The precinct is YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD and YOUR NEIGHBORS. Cumberland County has 118 precincts. Each precinct can elect two PCPs every 4 years. PCP’s are elected in gubernatorial years on the Primary ballot. If a vacancy occurs during those 4 years, PCPs can be appointed by the County Chair.

Precinct Committee Persons work with their Area Leader and are responsible for delivering the Democratic party message to voters and delivering voter’s concerns back to the party.

Duties include:

Maintaining and increasing Democratic registration
Maintaining and increasing Democratic turn out
Distributing vital voter information to voters in their neighborhood
Recruit and train volunteers in their precinct
Provide representation of CCDC at the polls on election day
Attend meetings of the precinct and CCDC
