Structure The structure of both major parties at the national level has four basic elements. These are national convention, the national committee, the national chairperson, and the congressional campaign committees.

National Conventions The national convention meets in the summer of every presidential election year and introduces the vice-presidential candidate. It also performs some other functions like the adoption of the party’s rules and the writing of its platform.

National Committee The National Committee is composed of committee people from every state; on paper the committee appears very powerful but really it isn’t.

National Chairperson The National Chairperson is the leader of the national committee; The National Chairperson directs the party’s headquarters Is responsible for promoting party unity, raising money, recruiting new voters, and preparing for the next election.

Congressional Campaign Committee The congressional campaign committee’s job is to make sure that seats given up by retiring party members remain in the party Some campaigns try to unseat people from the other party.

State Level At the state and local levels the structure is largely set by the state. At the State level the party is centered around a State central committee which is headed by a State chairperson. Together the chairperson and the central committee work to further the party’s interests in the state, build party unity, funding candidates and campaign funds.

Local Level At the local level the party structures vary from one place to the next and usually follow the electoral map of the State. Each district has a party unit which all the offices are filled from congressional and legislative districts to the precincts.
