The Maryland Constitution gives the local party committees a
key role in selecting a replacement for senators and delegates from their own
party. But it does not specify a process for how they select a name to send to
the governor, who makes the final appointment.

Carroll County Times article by Wiley Hayes: Late
legislative initiative to limit central committee's responsibilities
By Wiley Hayes, Times Staff Writer January 30, 2015 http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/ph-cc-commissioner-meeting-0129-20150129,0,5511869.story
The Carroll County Board of Commissioners will be submitting
a late addition to their legislative package to take away the power of the
Carroll County Republican Central Committee to select the replacement of a
county commissioner in the event of an opening.
This legislation is in part due to the controversial
decision by the committee to only recommend former Commissioner Robin Bartlett
Frazier to replace Sen. Joe Getty. The Republican Central Committee has since
reversed course and recommended three names to Gov. Larry Hogan for the seat.
The commissioners voted 3-2 on Thursday to send this
legislation to the Carroll County delegation. Commissioners Stephen Wantz,
R-District 1, and Richard Rothschild R-District 4, were the opposing votes.
