A precinct captain is the individual who acts as a direct link between the party machine and the voters in the community. The precinct captain helps with voter registrations, meeting new residents of the area or neighborhood, and helping voters get to the voting booths or precincts.

In Maya Angelou's autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Grandmother Baxter (chapter ten) is described as a precinct captain in the Negro section of St. Louis.
