Committeemen

Downers Grove Township Republican Organization (DGTRO) is now accepting applications to become a committeeman/committeewoman.

Expectations of a precinct committeman/committeewomen are:

  • Represent the party's voters at the county central committee convention to elect the county central chairman and its officers. The precinct committeeman casts a total number of party votes (weighted vote) as cast in the precinct at the recent primary election
  • Attend and become involved in the organization's monthly meetings
  • Become a voter registrar and register all qualified constituents
  • Appoint and fill vacancies of election judges for the precinct polling place
  • Provide candidate and election information to the voters
  • Become familiar with the elected officials and legislatures so the concerns of the voters can be passed on to them

A precinct committeeman is elected to a two year term in the even-year primary elections. Precinct committeemen can also be appointed to fill vacancies. There are currently some precincts without a committeeman.

If you are interested in becoming a precinct committeemen, please contact Greg Abbott at (630) 985-6785.
