What is the "Central Committee"? 
The McDonough County Democratic Central Committee (MCDCC) is recognized by the State of Illinois as a formal and legal entity of the Democratic Party in Illinois. McDonough County is divided into 27 Precincts. One person living in each precinct may be elected in the Democratic primary to serve a two year term on the McDonough County Democratic Central Committee. Those elected then choose a Democratic County Chairperson, Vice-Chair, Secretary and Treasurer for that term. If no one runs for committee person in a precinct the County Chair may appoint someone to that position. 

You do not have to live in a precinct to be appointed to be its committee person.
Please consider joining a pool of possible appointees. The Central Committee currently meets at 6:30 pm on the fourth Monday of each month in the Macomb City Hall Community room. All local Democrats are invited to attend. 
 
What precinct are you in?
Your address determines your precinct. Look on your voter registration card or check the map at this link: http://gis.wiu.edu/js/precinct/ or call Voter Registration in Courthouse (309) 833-4649.
