Get Active

There are lots of ways to be an active Democrat:

  • Become a Neighborhood Leader
    Neighborhood leaders are the primary organizers in their immediate neighborhoods. They are the backbone of the 2008 campaign, in all 50 state and in all 36 counties of Oregon.

  • Become a Precinct Committee Person
    Get elected to a public office! It's easy and free! PCPs vote in party meetings and elect party officers.
    Deadline to file: 70 days before the election.

  • Register to vote
    In Oregon, you register by party, and must be registered 21 days before an election. Only Democrats can vote in a Democratic primary election. You can change your registration at any time by re-registering, at your county elections office or at any DMV office.

  • Volunteer
    Volunteers work to get Democrats elected to office and to keep the party running on a daily basis.

  • Write a letter
    Influence your friends. Become famous. Send a letter to your newspaper.

  • Join a caucus or community


  • Work with your county party
    There is a Democratic party in every county in Oregon. They typically meet monthly, organize local events, and turn out volunteers to help win campaigns.
