PAM 2026 (Precinct Annual Meetings)
Meetings Happening 2/15 – 2/28
Precincts are the foundation of the Democratic Party! Each precinct in North Carolina must meet at least once per year. This is known as the precinct annual meeting (PAM).
During PAM, attendees elect delegates to our county convention where district convention delegates and State Executive Committee representatives are elected. Precinct meeting attendees can also present resolutions and vote on resolutions other precincts pass. These resolutions eventually can become part of the DNC platform. But it all starts with organizing and building community in your precinct!
