The Berkeley County precincts organized with elected Republican officers, and where each one votes.
The Republican Party is organized in four levels. Each is built by the level beneath it, beginning with the precinct where you vote and ending at the national convention.
The smallest unit of the Republican Party, and the one you belong to by where you live. Berkeley County is divided into 96 voting precincts. An organized precinct elects its own officers and carries a vote on the county Executive Committee.
The county party, operating in the words of its own bylaws “under the authority and supervision of the South Carolina Republican Party.” The BCRP is governed by an Executive Committee seating one committeeman from every organized precinct alongside the elected county officers. It manages party operations between conventions and supports Republican candidates for every office on the Berkeley County ballot.
The state party, governed by the SCGOP Rules and its State Executive Committee. The SCGOP runs the state convention, certifies Republican nominees, and sets the rules every county party operates under. Berkeley County elects its own State Executive Committeeman to sit on that committee.
The governing body of the Republican Party nationwide. The RNC adopts the national platform, organizes the Republican National Convention, and supports the party’s candidates for federal office. Every state and territory seats three members: a National Committeeman, a National Committeewoman, and the State Chairman.
Your precinct elects a committeeman who casts its vote on the county Executive Committee. The county sends delegates to the state convention. The state seats three members on the RNC. Rules travel the other direction, from the RNC to the SCGOP to the county party. Every level of the Republican Party rests on the precinct.
