Looks as if the title for Precinct Committeeman has been changed to Precinct Committeeperson.

A former Chair of the McHenry County Democrsatic Party, Kathy Bergan Schmidt, told me the title should be “Citizen Representative.”

I suggested that since her party contolled everything in Springfield that they change the title.

Apparently, they did change the title, but to one more unweildy than “Citizen Representative.”

Regardless, several commenters have asked where they might find a petition of the party precinct office.

The place to look is here.

It’s a page on the State Board of Elections website.

Ten signatures are required, but I suggest getting twenty.

And when you file them, along with a Statement of Candidacy, be sure to staple them together and have your signature notarized in front of a notary public.
