Ballot Petition Drives Around The Country



Connecticut <[link removed]>



7,500 validated signatures must be submitted; due to potentially high rejection rates, our goal is usually more like 12,000-14,000 raw signatures. 



Petition applications were available in early January, and we have started gathering signatures. There are 2 deadlines: petitions turned in to to SOTS office are due July 31  by 4:00 pm, but there’s one more week allowed for turning in to individual town clerks (deadline August 7 at 4:00 pm). 



Volunteers can email [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>.



Delaware <[link removed]>



The Delaware Green Party needs to register at least 100 new Greens by May 24.

Hawaii <[link removed]>



There is an Urgent Need to gather 300 additional signatures this week. The deadline for submissions is February 22.



If you want to help, please contact Sylvia Litchfield at [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>



Illinois <[link removed]>



Illinois has a short petitioning window. It begins on March 26 and ends June 24. We need 25,000 verified signatures. A minimum of 37,500 (1 & 1/2 times) are needed to buffer against the inevitable challenge.



Our petitioners would need to collect over 300 signatures a day in order to meet the deadline. We are sure to have some volunteers but not nearly enough to help with petitioning.



Visit [link removed] <[link removed]> for additional information.



Massachusetts <[link removed]>



The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires 10,000 Town-certified signatures. Signatures are due at town offices July 30th.



Since historically 85% of submitted signatures have been gotten certified, this translates to (10,000 / 0.85) = ~12,000 (15,000 to be safe).



Petitions are available as early as February 13. The Green-Rainbow Party (GRP) plans to decide at the February 17 statecom meeting on which presidential and vice presidential candidates names to place on the petitions, and start collecting.



GRP risks placing other than the GPUS Nominees by starting before mid-July, but delaying until mid-July would leave only two weeks to collect signatures. Hence GRP will risk this by collecting now - if GRP chooses wrong, we'll write-in GPUSs Nominees in November.

The Ohio Green Party <[link removed]> condemns Senate Bill 137 <[link removed]>, legislation introduced by Senator Theresa Gavarone (R-Bowling Green) that seeks to ban ranked-choice voting (RCV) across the state. This regressive bill undermines democratic principles, silences voters, and forces them to choose between a limited and often unsatisfactory set of candidates that legislate against their constituents.
