Party Identification Democratic and Republican Party Organization

Although many Texans claim that they are "registered Republicans" or "registered Democrats," Texas does not have a system of party registration. Registered voters may vote in either the Democrat or Republican primary.

One of the most important functions of political parties is to select candidates to run for office under the party label, which is currently accomplished through primary elections.

Permanent Party Organization

Organization of the parties themselves are often discussed in terms of the permanent organization of the party and the temporary (campaign) organization of the party (See Figure 9.9). In each election precinct, a precinct chair will be elected in the party primary. The precinct chair will head the precinct convention, in addition to serving on the party's county executive committee. In the primary, the county chair will also be elected. The county chair will lead the county executive committee, which is composed of the chair and precinct chairs. The main responsibility of the county executive committee is to run the county primary and plan the county conventions.

At the state level, there is a state executive committee, which includes a state chair and vice-chair. These officers are selected every two years at the state party conventions. The state executive committee:

accepts filings by candidates for statewide office

helps raise funds for the party

and establishes party policy

Temporary Party Organization

The temporary organization of the party includes the precinct conventions. The main role of the precinct conventions is to select delegates to the county convention and to possibly submit resolutions that may eventually become part of the party platform.

Delegates chosen at the precinct convention then go to the county conventions (or in urban areas, to district conventions). These conventions elect delegates to the state convention. Democratic and Republican parties hold state conventions every other year.

At the state convention:

nominees are certified for statewide office

a party platform is adopted

and a chair, vice-chair, and state executive committee is elected

In presidential election years, the state conventions:

select delegates for the national party conventions

elect delegates for the national party committee

and choose presidential electors to the Electoral College
