The Party’s structure is determined by state law and supported by the Rules of the Texas Democratic Party. Smith County is divided into 77 Precincts. To find which precinct you reside in, click on the following links:

Find My District on the "Who Represents Me?" website
(Note: Your precinct number should appear at the top of the results page; however, before the Texas redistricting case was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, all precinct number information disappeared from this site. We have no idea why, nor have our requests for restoration of this feature been answered by the Texas Legislature Online. If you can't find your precinct information, call our office at 903-593-7061.)

Each Precinct can elect a Precinct Chair to a 2-year term of office at the March Democratic Party Primary in even-numbered years. These 77 Precinct Chairs, along with the County Party Chair (also elected for a 2-year term at the Primary) make up the County Executive Committee. The County Executive Committee is responsible for administering primary elections, fundraising, recruiting volunteers, and organizing voters within the county.

On the evening of the March Party Primary immediately after the polls close, Democratic primary voters gather at polling places to adopt resolutions and select delegates to the County Convention, which is held the third Saturday after the Primary. At the County Convention, delegates to the State Convention are elected. At the biannual State Convention, state officials and national delegates are elected, and the party platform and other business is decided upon. In presidential election years (2008), delegates elected at the State Convention will ultimately go to the National Convention to select the candidates for President and Vice President. Electors who vote in the Electoral College during a presidential election are also chosen by the Party at the State Convention.

Clubs and other organizations at local, state and national levels also assist the Party. These include branches of the Democratic Women, Young Democrats, Yellow Dog Democrats, workers’ organizations, and fraternal groups. Such organizations aim to coordinate with the formal party organization in whatever ways are appropriate. Tasks performed by such groups may include:
