How is the Republican party organized in DE? The Delaware GOP is governed by the Chair of the state committee, who is responsible for facilitating the policies set forth in the by-laws of the state Republican party. These by-laws are established through the state Executive Committee, under the state Chair’s direction. The state is broken down into 3 counties (New Castle, Kent, and Sussex). Due to the number of citizens residing in New Castle County, that county is further sub-divided into three regions (Western, Northern and Colonial). Each of these counties (regions) has a Chair who, in turn, facilitates the operation of the Republican party within the county (region) and reports back to the state through the state Executive Committee. The State Board of Elections has divided the state into 41 Representative Districts and 21 Senatorial Districts. Sussex County has 10 Representative Districts and 5 Senatorial Districts. Each representative district within the county has a Representative District Chair (RDC) who is charged with knowing the demographics of their district, recruiting Election District Committee persons, arranging voter registration events, knowing the election schedule, and lending guidance and support to current elected officials within the district or those endorsed candidates seeking office. Within each Representative District there are a certain number of Election Districts (polling locations). Each Election District is represented by two Election District Committee persons (EDC’s). It is the EDC’s responsibility to know the party organization and demographics of his/her Election Districts. The EDCs speak to the issues of concern to their constituents through canvassing or other forms of communication.
