Question 1: Who makes up the Republican and Democratic Party?
Short Answer: Everyone who votes in a "Primary Election" is a member or is affiliated with the respective political party..
Long Answer: The political parties are made up of registered voters who participate in Primary Elections.
A "Primary Election" (aptly named primary, because that's where it all begins) is the nominating process by which candidates are chosen by the members or those affiliated, to represent their political party on a "General Election" ballot
Primary Election candidates who receives the most votes, advance to be listed on the General Election ballot, and that winner, then represents the citizens of the village, township, school board, county, state, or the whole country..
Question 2: How is each political party's leadership chosen?
Short Answer: Local and state party leadership is elected by "you" at the Primary Election in even numbered years..
Long Answer: Specific details for how each Party's leadership is selected/elected is a little more complicated.
Each political party adopts rules and bylaws (which are a public record).
You can start by contacting your local and state leadership.
The Leadership is by legal definition called a Central Controlling Committee. The roster of names is listed at the Mercer County Board of Election Website and then click on "Political Parties".
There is a link to a list of each political party's elected leadership or central committee and their website. (more info below)
