§ 15490 Central Committee Election Rules
This law explains how people get elected to a political party's central committee. It says the candidates with the most votes win, but there are special rules for write-in candidates.
Imagine a local election where people vote for members of a political party's central committee.
The candidates who get the most votes win. But if someone writes in a name (not on the ballot), they only win if they get at least 2% of the votes or 20 votes, whichever is smaller.
Minimum votes for write-in candidate = max(2% of party members voting, 20 votes)
In a district, 1,000 party members vote in the election.
Result: A write-in candidate needs at least 20 votes to win.
