Central Committees

State and County Central Committees are the governing body of the Peace and Freedom Party. Members of the Central Committees are elected in each county in the primary elections in even-numbered years. The number of central committee members elected in each county, whether they are elected at-large or by district, and how many valid signatures of Peace and Freedom Party registrants are needed for nomination all depend on how many P&F registrants there are in each county and district. Election officials were supposed to announce the official numbers by February 9, 2008; the numbers apparently weren't published, but we calculated the numbers ourselves based on the same P&F registration figures they are supposed to use, those as of January 22, 2008.

Note: In addition to the Peace and Freedom party members elected directly to the Central Committees, all Peace and Freedom nominees for partisan office (U.S. Congress, California Assembly, etc.) are automatically made members of the State Central Committee and their County Central Committee.

The Elections Code gives a formula for how many Central Committees seats should be elected from each district when they are not elected at large. This formula can result in the total seats from all districts in a county being a few more or a few less than the total the county should elect. The Elections Code gives a procedure for adjusting the formula if it results in a county being given too few seats, but not for adjusting the formula if it results in a county being given too many seats. If that same procedure were to be applied to the counties whose districts were given a few too many seats, then the districts indicated with five asterisks in this table would each be entitled to one fewer seat than listed in the table.
