Background: Structure of Regional Party Associations
A district board forms the central leadership body of a party at the local or regional level. The AfD district association Gera-Jena-Saale-Holzlandkreis is geographically relatively large and bundles political work across the borders of the independent cities of Jena and Gera into the rural areas of the Saale-Holzland-Kreis. The essential tasks of such district associations include supporting local party members, political public relations, organizing election campaigns at the municipal level, and nominating direct candidates for upcoming state or federal elections.
