Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a precinct?
The precinct is the smallest unit of electoral geography; basically, it encompasses everyone who polls at a particular polling place. In an urban area, it could be just a few blocks; in rural areas, it might be a few square miles.
2. What is a precinct captain?
Precinct captains are volunteers responsible for person to person contact in their precincts. They make calls, knock on doors, and help get out the vote for early voting and for the primary-caucus on March 4th. Precinct captains communicate Barack's vision directly to voters in their neighborhood and show them what it looks like to take responsibility for changing our politics, our country, and our lives for the better.
