The Republican Precinct Project is the only statewide effort dedicated to reducing the 51% committeeman vacancy rate that currently exists in Illinois. (See the Elected Republican Precinct Committeeman Summary – by County below.)
The goal of the Republican Precinct Project is to fill every Republican Precinct Committeeman position in every county in Illinois – with truly dedicated, pro-GOP Platform, hard working volunteers. This will require the participation of thousands of reform-minded Republicans.
NOTE: The instructions here are applicable to every Illinois county EXCEPT for Cook County. Cook has a unique structure under Illinois law and Precinct Committeemen are not elected by either the Republicans or Democrats.
