§ 7771 Central Committee Member Calculation

Key Takeaways

  • •The elections official must calculate how many people will be on the central committee for each district.
  • •This calculation must be done at least 115 days before the presidential primary election.
  • •The calculation is only needed if the central committee members are elected by supervisorial or Assembly districts.

Example

Imagine your town is getting ready for a big election, like picking the president. Before that, they need to figure out how many people from each neighborhood can be on a special team (central committee) that helps with the election.

The person in charge of elections has to count how many spots are open on this team for each neighborhood. They have to do this counting at least 115 days before the big election day. This way, everyone knows how many people they can vote for in their neighborhood.
