• Your special invitation from our Maryland Ballot Access Coordinator!

I'm Andy Messick, sending a personal invite to remind you of our free, special training event this Tuesday evening, August 29, at 7:00 PM. Register here for the link to this free opportunity.

The signature collection drive is well underway and we need everyone to step up! This event will ensure that all our volunteers have the necessary tools to get started with this vital work.

Green Party volunteers from around Missouri met on July 12th to formally kick-off our bid to regain our statewide ballot access. Although we started petitioning in January and now have over 2700 signatures collected, we still have a long way to go. Momentum is gathering (both here and around the country) for the Green Party in 2024, so now is the time to add your shoulder to the wheel alongside your neighbors to challenge the thoroughly corrupt and unresponsive pay-to-play politics at City Hall, at the county courthouse, in Jefferson City, and in Washington DC.

According to Sue Edward, Secretary of the Missouri Green Party, the MGP is now circulating a party petition for ballot access in The Show Me state for the 2024 General Election.

She estimates that about 2,500 signatures have been gathered to date. 10,000 valid signatures will be needed by July 31, 2024, and the MGP’s goal is to turn in 15,000 total signatures. If the petition succeeds, it would qualify the MGP’s nominated candidates for all partisan elections in Missouri in November 2024.

The Montana Secretary of State has listed the Green Party as a qualified party, after the party notified the Secretary of its new officers. There had been uncertainty about the party’s legal status. The Green Party was on in 2022, but because there were no statewide offices up in Montana, it was impossible for the Green Party, or any party, to poll 5% of the winner’s vote (the legal test) in a statewide race in 2022.

If you think that Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump (again!) is a good enough choice for President in 2024, then you can go on and skip the rest of this call to action...

However, if you are not okay with this, then now is the time to do something BIG about it. Missouri Green Party volunteers have already been hard at work for months working on gathering the 15,000 signatures needed to put the Green Party on the ballot in Missouri in 2024. We have a great start.

The Green Party of Utah (GPUT) is beginning the process of gathering signatures to regain ballot access. But we need your help to get the signatures required by November, 2023!

• The party's inclusion could shake up the typically tight presidential race in the state

Wisconsin's Green Party has cleared a hurdle necessary for the party to appear on the ballot during the November 2024 presidential race.

Although Green Party candidate Sharyl McFarland came in last place during a four-way race for Secretary of State this November, she did clear a crucial threshold by taking nearly 1.6 percent of the vote. At least 1 percent of the vote was necessary to allow the party to request recognized status in upcoming elections.

A key goal for the Green Party each election cycle is for state green parties to gain or retain ballot access, which ensures a line on the ballot for Green candidates for upcoming elections. Having an ongoing ballot line means easier ballot access, allowing state parties to focus their efforts on outreach instead of having to petition for higher numbers of signatures and meet other onerous requirements that smaller parties without ballot access are required to fulfill. 

• Our 2024 Ballot Access Drive is Live! Three Ways You Can Help Today

Thank you for your continued support of the Maryland Green Party. Whether you've been with us for years or just signed up, you're here at a critical time for the party: the start of our 2024 ballot access campaign.

PITTSBORO, NC – The North Carolina Green Party (NCGP) sees today’s certification of our party by the North Carolina State Board of Elections as vindication for our organization and for the over 22,000 residents who signed our petition for more voter choice in this state. The decision is a reversal of the July 1, 2022, decision by the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) in a party-line vote of 3-2 to reject the NCGP’s petition for “new party status” and with it the ballot access required to run Green candidates.
