Elections & the
County Central Committee

Why do we immediately start talking about the County Central Committee when we talk about our elections? Here’s why.

"

The County Central Committees
are made up of collective members which are elected by precinct, ward, or city (varies by county). If no one runs they can be appointed. Each County has it’s own amount.

Board of Elections (BOE)
••••In some counties, The Executive Committee recommends two voters from their party to the Secretary of State (SOS) for appointment.

••••Typically, the SOS appoints (affirms) the recommendations but if he/she does not, the Executive Committee can
1) Take legal action, or
2) Appoint someone else.

••••In some counties the County Chair & Vice Chair are automatically on the BOE

The Role of the BOE
The BOE run elections. This includes hiring election officials, conducting elections, selecting poling locations, processing ballots, counting votes, cleaning up voter rolls, etc. Basically, if its election related, its up to the Board of Elections.
