The Kansas Republican Party was organized in May 1859 and has been the dominant political party of Kansas ever since. ==Party structure== The current Kansas Republican Party structure includes the following elements:〔http://www.ksgop.org | Kansas Republican Party Constitution and Bylaws〕 * Precincts: Kansas is divided into thousands of administrative voting districts called precincts. Precincts are not based on population and range from 0 registered voters to 2,500 voters. During the biannual primary election in August, the registered Republican voters in each precinct elect one precinct committeeman and one precinct committeewoman (a/k/a "precinct leaders"). Vacancies in precinct positions may be filled by the county party chair. In the event that an elected partisan state legislative or county office becomes vacant, the precinct leaders from that district will meet and elect a replacement. * County Party: Every two years, between the primary election and 2 weeks after the general election, all the precinct committee people – the county party "central Committee" – hold a meeting and elect officers for the county party, a chair, vice chair, secretary and treasurer. Each of the 105 counties in Kansas has an active county party. Each county party is responsible for recruiting, advising, and supporting county-level candidates and supporting all Republican candidates whose district includes all or part of the county. * County Delegates: At the biannual meeting of the precinct committeemen, county delegates are elected. Each county has two automatic delegates, its chair and vice chair. Additional delegates are awarded based on the total number of Republican votes from the county in the last primary election. While most counties have only 2 delegates, large counties like Sedgwick and Johnson have dozens of county delegates. * District Committee: The county delegates from each of the four Congressional Districts will assemble in four different district meetings, usually in December of an election year, and elect four officers (chair, vice-chair, secretary, and treasurer) and 37 delegates to the state committee. The District Committee also elects some of the delegates to the National Convention and, in the event a Congressional office becomes vacant, will select the Republican candidate for the special election to fill the vacancy. * State Committee: The state committee is made up of 37 delegates from each congressional district, the chair and vice-chair of each district, the six state party officers, key elected officials and leaders of Republican affiliated groups. The State Committee meets at least twice a year. Every two years the newly elected delegates elect new state party officers – a chair, vice-chair, secretary and treasurer. During the first meeting in a Presidential election year, the state committee elects a National Committeeman and Committeewoman, who take office immediately after the national Republican convention. The state committee approves resolutions, changes to the state party constitution and by-laws, and approves the party platform every two years. * Executive Committee: The Executive committee is made up of the party officers, elected officials, leaders of Republican affiliated groups, and some especially appointed and elected individuals. The Executive Committee meets at State Committee meetings and by phone several times during the year. Budgetary and other administrative supervision duties are tasked to the executive committee. * State Party Officers: There are six party officers. The Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer, are elected every two years. The National Committeeman and Women are elected every four years. The Chair may hire an executive director and other paid staff with the approval of the Executive Committee. * Republican House Campaign Committee (RHCC) and Kansas Republican Senatorial Committee (KRSC): These are special party organizations composed of Republican Representatives and Senators. The role of the these organizations is to recruit, advise, and support Republican candidates for the Kansas House and Senate. The Representatives and Senators elect the leadership for each organization. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kansas Republican Party」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
