Ballot Petition Drives Around The Country
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].
The Delaware Green Party needs to register at least 100 new Greens
by May 24.

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]
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.

additional information.
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 condemns
Senate Bill 137, 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
