Precincts are required to meet once a year for an Organizational Meeting (per the NCDP Plan of Organization)

Precinct Organization is the foundation of grassroots organizing. It all starts here with you and your neighbors. Organizing your precinct gives your community power and a voice in the Party and provides tools and resources to get your neighbors out to vote!

Certify the meeting

• Verify that at least 5 registered Democrats from the precinct are in attendance
