§ 7555 Party Convention Membership Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •You can't be in the state convention if you're not registered with the party.
  • •Only people who are officially part of the party can be chosen as the party's nominee.
  • •If you want to represent the party, you must be a registered member first.

Example

Imagine your school has a club, and only club members can run to be the club leader.

If you're not a member of the club, you can't be picked as the leader. Same with this law—if you're not registered with the party, you can't be their nominee in the state convention.
