The Urban Party Electoral Committee (UPEC) is responsible for coordinating party organizational activity, media relations and the election of party members. The UPEC is responsible for directly supervising the national convention, coordinating with the presidential candidate, commissioning polls and coordinating the party's campaign strategy. While it is responsible for overseeing the process of writing a platform every four years, UPEC's central focus is on campaign and political activity in support of Urban Party candidates, and not on public policy.
