View the Full Results

Details of the results are also posted on our website and viewable by clicking the link above or by visiting the webpage [https://www.mdgreens.org/november_2021_assembly_results] directly. Please note that any disputes of the election results must be submitted by Tuesday, December 14, at 7:00 pm.

We are excited to have such a strong and clear statement for ranked choice voting (RCV) and proportional representation for multi-member seats. We are continuing to work for RCV with the state legislature in Annapolis. Legislation has already been drafted (MC 13-22) to allow Montgomery County to use RCV in county-wide elections. Montgomery is Maryland's most populous county, so having RCV would help it to spread. Because the state legislature must give permission, please contact your legislators no matter where in Maryland you live.

If you would like to be involved in the Green Party in any way, small or large, at the local, state, or national level, please contact us at [email protected]. We're always looking for good candidates to run for office, to help with our petition drives, serve on a committee, or work on an issue that you care about.

Yours for a Green future,

Mary Rooker & Olivia "Liv" Romano

Maryland Green Party Co-Chairs
