§ ORS § 248.075State central committee; organizational meeting; notice

(1) The state central committee
shall consist of at least two delegates from each county central committee and
other delegates from each county equal to the number of party members in the
county registered on the date of the primary election divided by 15,000. If the
remaining number exceeds 7,500, one additional delegate shall represent the
county. The delegates and an equal number of alternate delegates shall be
selected by the county central committee. When a delegate of a county central
committee is unable to attend a meeting of the state central committee, an
alternate delegate of the county central committee may attend the meeting.

(2) The
organizational meeting of a newly elected state central committee shall be held
on a date to be determined by party rule. The retiring state central committee
shall send by postal mail or electronic mail notice of the meeting, not later
than the sixth day before the meeting, to each member of the newly elected
state central committee. If permitted by the bylaws of the state central
committee, the state central committee may notify members by means other than
by postal mail or electronic mail.

(3) The
chairperson of the retiring state central committee shall send by postal mail
or electronic mail a notice of the meeting to the county central committees not
later than the 45th day before the meeting. The state central committee may not
reorganize without the mailing of this notification.

(4) If a county
central committee fails to organize before the organizational meeting of the
state central committee, the appointed temporary chairperson of the county
central committee may act as the sole delegate from that committee to the state
central committee.

(5) If the
retiring state central committee does not mail notice of the organizational
meeting under subsection (2) of this section, the meeting may be called by a
petition signed by at least 19 chairpersons of the county central committees.
The petition shall state the time, date and place of the organizational
meeting. A copy of the petition shall be sent by postal mail or electronic mail
to each newly elected chairperson and vice chairperson of the county central
committees not later than the sixth day before the meeting. A copy of the
petition shall be filed with the Secretary of State. [1965 c.407 §13; 1975
