Historical NoteReturn to Top
The State Central Committee (SCC) is the governing body of the party. The (SCC) has representatives from every county in Utah. Along with the automatic members, each county chair and vice-chair, counties are allocated representative based on the number of voting republicans in that county. These representatives are voted in by each county's central committee which in turn is made up of precinct chairs and vice chairs elected at neighborhood caucuses.
