NCDP Chair Jerry Meek announced today that the process of reorganizing the Democratic Party’s precinct organizations is moving “quickly, successfully, and strictly by the rules.”

Applications to serve as temporary precinct Chair, for the purpose of holding an organizational meeting of each precinct, are due at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Application forms may be obtained here. Temporary precinct Chairs will be announced on the website over the weekend.

All precincts will meet at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 19th. Precinct meeting locations will be posted to the State Party website, www.ncdp.org, by 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 12th. All registered Democrats are encouraged to attend their precinct meeting.

As of 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 101 Democrats, representing 85 precincts, have applied to serve as temporary precinct Chair.

“While this has been a difficult time for the county party,” Meek said, “I am heartened by the energy displayed in organizing these precincts throughout Mecklenburg County.”

The applications continue to come in at a rapid pace. Meek expects a surge in the number of applications tomorrow.

The State Party is supervising the reorganizing process.
