All party committees, the selection of which is provided for in sections 3517.02 and 3517.03 of

the organizational meeting provided for in section 3517.04 of the Revised Code. A county
central committee shall serve until the sixth day after the date of the declaration of the results
by the board of elections of the primary election in that county. In case of vacancies caused
by death, resignation, failure to elect, or removal from the precinct, ward, township, or district
from which a committeeman was chosen, the controlling committee or, if authorized, the
executive committee shall fill the vacancy for the unexpired term by a majority vote of the
members of such committee.
If more than one organized group claims to be the rightful county central or executive
committee, each such group shall file a list of its officers and members as provided in section
3517.06 of the Revised Code, and the board of elections with which such lists are filed shall
certify them to the state central committee of the party concerned. The state central
committee shall meet within thirty days after receipt of such certification and forthwith
determine and certify which committee shall be recognized as the rightful county central or
executive committee.
