 3 follows:
 4 1. The county committee of each party shall be constituted by the
 5 election in each election district within such county of at least two
 6 members and of such additional members as the rules of the county
 7 committee of the party within the county or the statement filed pursuant
 8 hereto may provide for such district, proportional to the party vote in
 9 the district for governor at the last preceding gubernatorial election,
 10 or in case the boundaries of such district have been changed or a new
 11 district has been created since the last preceding gubernatorial
 12 election, proportional to the party vote [cast for member of assembly or
 13 in the event there was no election for member of assembly, then propor-
 14 tional to the number of enrolled voters of such party in such district
 15 on the list of enrolled voters last published by the board of elections]
 16 in the district for governor at the last preceding gubernatorial
 17 election multiplied by the percentage of registered voters from the
 18 former election district that are contained in the new election
 19 district, excluding voters in inactive status. In a county in which no
 20 additional members are provided for by the rules of the county committee
 21 or the statement filed pursuant hereto the voting power of each member
 22 shall be in proportion to such party vote or, if the election district
 23 which such member represents was created or changed since the last
 24 preceding gubernatorial election [for member of assembly], proportional

 1 to [such party enrollment] the party vote in the district for governor
 2 at the last preceding gubernatorial election multiplied by the percent-

 5 members are so provided for, on the basis of the party vote or enroll-
 6 ment in election districts within such county, each member shall have
 7 one vote. Each member of a county committee shall be an enrolled voter
 8 of the party residing in the county and the assembly district from which
 9 or in the assembly district containing the election district in which
 10 such member is elected except that a member of a county committee who,
 11 as a result of an alteration of assembly district lines, no longer
 12 resides within such assembly district may continue to serve for the
 13 balance of the term to which he was elected.
 14 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
