(1) Existing law governing primary elections prohibits a declaration of candidacy for membership on a county central committee unless the candidate has been affiliated with the political party of that committee for a specified time period. These provisions do not apply to the presidential primary, but do apply to other partisan offices. However, existing law defines "partisan office" to include only the offices of President of the United States, Vice President of the United States, and the delegates therefor, and elected members of party committees.
