[EL] Elected central committees

[Richard Winger]

Half the states let primary voters choose local political party officials.  I have a list if you want it.
How do you know the parties have beat back the attempt?  I knew the county election officials had been trying to persuade their county supervisor boards to back them up on their demand.

California's political parties appear to have beaten back an attempt by two county clerks to get them off the ballot by proposing prohibitive fees - about $1 per registered voter.   The 2016 election will be on the public ballot without charge to the county parties or filing fee to the candidates.
In California, elected central committees date from 1897 as a reaction to caucuses that created self-perpetuating political bosses.  The commitment to public elections was placed in the state constitution in 2010.
Are there other states that elect central committees on the primary election ballot?
