    PCO Resources

    Each county is divided into several precincts. The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) sets up the rules for each party to elect Precinct Committee Officers (PCOs). PCOs may also be assigned by the County Chair for those precincts which did not elect PCOs.

    PCOs serve for two years. Their purpose is to:

    • Help educate people in their precinct about important issues
    • Get Out the Vote
    • Serve as a member on the County Central Committee, influencing such things as the county party platform and local Democratic activities

    If there is no PCO elected in your precinct, you can submit your name to be considered for appointment as PCO by our BCDCC County Chair. Please e-mail orgchair@BenCoDems.org to find out if your precinct has a PCO, or to ask to be appointed. Being a PCO is a lot of on-the-ground, in-the-trenches work, but it is vital to developing our voter base.

    A form for “Declaration of Candidacy for Precinct Committee Office” can be downloaded by clicking here (pdf file). If you prefer, a Microsoft Word file is also available here (doc file).

    Click here for a link to the GIS (ArcMap) version of the Benton County voting precinct map.

    Click here for a District to Precinct Cross Reference table (pdf file) for the 4th Congressional District. Four digit numbers have replaced older numbers and names.

    PCO handbooks are available.  Please click here for the 2025 PCO Handbook.

      4501 W Lattin Ct, West Richland, WA 99353, USA

      It's time for our October 9 gathering (6pm). We are inviting candidates who have made it through the primary to come visit with us. We will also have 'Hate Has no Home Here' and 'Vote Blue' signs available. At this writing, the weather forecast is promising for a picnic at the farm - 4501 W Lattin Ct, West Richland, WA. If it's warm, we have plenty of shade and misters and sprinklers to take the edge off the heat. If it's cool, we have a fire pit and patio heaters and we have some lights so we can see when it gets dark. In the event that the weather does not cooperate, we have the Pasco Round Table reserved. and we'll make a final announcement by Wednesday the 7th. Come gather with like-minded folks and share some fellowship, food and beverages. If we are picnicking, bring a dish to share, and Tri-City Democrats will provide utensils and plates, and napkins. If we're at the pizza location, TCD will purchase an assortment of pizzas to share. You're on your own for salad bar and beverages, though there are usually pitchers of beer provided by fellow members. We'll have the donation box available for those who care to financially support the group.

      We decide who represents us. We decide what comes next.

      For more than a year, millions of people have come together to reject the idea that power belongs to kings, billionaires, or politicians who believe they are above the people and the law.

      Now, we are taking the next step, turning people power into voter power. Unlike previous No Kings actions, No Kings: Vote Early, is not purely a protest. Instead, on October 17th, it's a day of nonpartisan voter participation: we are bringing the Tri-Cities together to make a plan to vote early and ensuring every eligible voter understands their options for how to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard.

      Because no one person gets to decide our leaders before voters do. On October 17th, join us in local events across the country as we get out the early vote and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings.
