[Salvador Peralta]

Oregon has a similar model of pcp's elected at the primary for major political parties that opt-in to the model.

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?
