Green Party Calls for PA Presidential Primary in February 2024
On November 12, thirty elected delegates and friends from seven PA counties voted to hold a Green Party of PA Presidential Primary in February 2024. The plan which was proposed by the GPPA GreenWave Team included the following dates:
January 1, 2024, Last date for voters to register Green in order to vote in the Green Party of PA Presidential Primary;
February 1, 2024, Last date for presidential candidates to be approved for the Green Party of PA Presidential Primary ballot;
February 1, 2024, Deadline for Green Party voters to apply for an absentee ballot;
February 13, 2024, Green Party of PA mails absentee ballots to voters;
February 15, 2024, Green Party of PA Presidential Primary virtual voting begins;
February 29, 2024, End of virtual voting and last date for postmark on absentee ballots;
March 4, 2024, Final date for receipt of Green Party of PA Presidential Primary absentee ballots;
March 13, 2024, Report results of Green Party of PA Presidential Primary to candidates and the media.
This will be the first time for the Green Party of PA to use virtual voting in a Presidential Primary. During previous presidential elections, GPPA relied upon county caucuses (like Iowa) to choose its presidential candidate.
The Green Party of PA, https://www.gpofpa.org, is an independent political party which stands in opposition to the two corporate parties. GPPA candidates promote public policy based on the Green Party’s Four Pillars: grassroots democracy, nonviolence, ecological wisdom, and social justice/equal opportunity.
