State central committee
A. A member of the state central committee of a recognized political party shall meet the
qualifications established by the rules and regulations of the state central committee of that recognized
political party.
B.(1) All members of the state central committee of a recognized political party shall be elected
every four years at the same time as the presidential preference primary election.
(2) Candidates for membership on the state central committee of a recognized political party shall
qualify for office pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 5 of this Title.
(3) If the number of candidates who qualified for office exceeds the number of candidates to be
elected for that office, the candidate who receives the greater number of votes cast shall be elected. If two
or more offices of the same character are to be filled, each candidate who received the greater number of
votes cast, as compared with the number of votes cast for each other candidate, is elected until all offices are
filled. If two or more candidates receive the same number of votes, and as a result thereof, the number of
candidates who would otherwise be elected exceed the number of remaining offices, the offices shall be filled
by a public drawing of lots among such candidates conducted by the state central committee at its
organizational meeting held pursuant to Subsection C hereof.
(4) If, after the close of the qualifying period, the number of candidates for an office for membership
on the committee does not exceed the number of persons to be elected to the office, the candidates for that
office, or those remaining after the death or withdrawal of one or more candidates, are declared elected by
the people, and their names shall not appear on the ballot.
C. The newly-elected members of the state central committee of a recognized political party shall
meet at the state capitol, shall take office, and shall organize the committee within forty days following their
election. A majority of the newly-elected members of the committee shall constitute a quorum. No member
shall exercise the proxy votes of more than three other members at any meeting. A member shall not vote
by proxy at more than two consecutive meetings. No member shall exercise the proxy vote of a member who
does not reside in the same congressional district as the member who exercises the proxy vote.
D. At the first meeting of the state central committee of a recognized political party, the
newly-elected members of the committee shall elect the officers provided for by the rules and regulations
of the committee.
E. The state central committee of a recognized political party may adopt rules and regulations for
its government that are not inconsistent with the laws of this state, and it may create any committee it deems
necessary. Rules and regulations establishing or changing the qualifications for membership on the state
central committee or parish executive committees of a recognized political party shall be filed with the
secretary of state within ten days after their adoption and shall be published by the state central committee
in the Louisiana Register.
