PARTY (§ 24.2-518)

The treasurer of the county or city in which the elections are held shall pay
the costs of primary elections.
		A political party may hold an election to select the members of its party
committee at the same time and in the same places as a primary election without
fee or charge for making use of the electoral machinery, provided that a primary
to nominate the party&#8217;s candidate for an office is in fact conducted on
that primary date. Such elections for party committee members may be conducted
by paper ballots or by voting machines in the discretion of the local electoral
board.
		The proper political party committee shall pay the costs of using the election
machinery at any other time for the purpose of conducting other nominating
procedures adopted pursuant to the rules of that party, if such use is
authorized by the officials having custody of the machinery.
