In New York, county executive committees typically select candidates for local public offices, with the county committees ratifying the selections. County committees are composed of at least two members elected from each election district as well as two members elected from each assembly district within the county (assembly district leaders).〔Election Law § 2-104〕 It is one of the largest Democratic county organizations in the United States, and the largest that is not its own city. ==Structure== The New York Election Law defines the structure of political parties and requires each party to have county committees.〔Election Law article 2〕 County committees are composed of at least two members elected from each election district as well as two members elected from each assembly district within the county (assembly district leaders).〔Election Law § 2-104〕 As of 2005, Brooklyn was home to 929,459 enrolled Democrats.
