Get involved
Four ways in, from smallest to largest
Most people who want to help have no idea what the first step is, so here it is in order.
From the committee
Volunteer
If you have a passion for a conservative cause, bring your idea to us. Send us an email. Text us. Call us. Be willing to volunteer for the cause that you are passionate about. We can appoint a committee. You may request a budget.

1. Make sure your registration is correct
The Secretary of State’s My Vote lookup shows your registration status, your party and your precinct. It takes about two minutes.
Check my registration Register or update
Both links go to the Oregon Secretary of State. Questions about your ballot, your drop site or your precinct go to the Baker County Clerk, which is the only office that can confirm them.
2. Become a Precinct Committee Person
A Precinct Committee Person — a PCP — is a volunteer who represents one precinct on the county central committee. It is the party’s neighbor-level job and it is the main way a county party grows.
What the job generally involves:
- • Being a known name and face for the people in your own precinct.
- • Attending the central committee’s meetings and voting on committee business.
- • Helping with the practical work — turnout, events, getting information to neighbors.
Broadly, there are two routes into the seat in Oregon: precinct committee people are elected at the primary election, and seats that are vacant can be filled by appointment through the county committee. Many precincts sit empty, which is why county parties recruit year round.
3. Volunteer
Committees mostly need hands rather than expertise: setting up a room, staffing a booth at the county fair, making calls, delivering signs, sitting at a table on election day.
Send the committee a message or call (503) 510-3281.
4. Get candidate signs
The Oregon Republican Party keeps a statewide map of places to pick up Republican yard signs.
