§  2-102.  State  committee;  creation.  1.  The  members of the state  committee  of  each  party  shall  be  elected  from   such   units   of  representation  as the state committee shall by rule provide. The number  of members representing each unit may vary, but  each  member  shall  be  entitled  to  an  equal  vote within his unit.  Each member of the state  committee shall be entitled to cast one vote unless  the  rules  of  the  party shall provide otherwise.    2.  Each member shall be, at the time of his election and continuously  thereafter, an enrolled member of the party and a resident of  the  unit  from which he is elected except as hereinafter provided.    3.  To  be eligible for election as a member of the state committee at  the first election next ensuing after a readjustment  or  alteration  of  the  units  of  representation  becomes effective, a candidate must only  have been a resident of the county  in  which  the  unit,  or  any  part  thereof,  is  contained  for the twelve months immediately preceding the  election.    4. The state committee may provide by rule for equal representation of  the sexes on said committee. When  any  such  rule  provides  for  equal  representation  of  the  sexes,  the  designating  petitions and primary  ballots shall list candidates for such  party  positions  separately  by  sexes.    5.  The  state  committee  may  provide  for  the  holding  of a state  convention and the election of delegates and alternate delegates thereto  in any year and may empower such convention to adopt party platforms and  policies and to transact such other business as it may prescribe.
