There were no contested races in either the Democratic or Republican parties for committee positions within the various municipalities of Carbon County.

Every four years, the two parties elect people to represent their parties in the boroughs and townships of Carbon.

The Democratic Party bylaws call for voters in each of those districts to elect one committeeman and one committeewoman in each district, whereas the GOP bylaws are different in that they call for the election of a designated number of committee members by boroughs or townships.
