Ballots were emailed to all Green Party members whose email addresses are on file with the party, and it was available for download on our website. Paper ballots were mailed to those who requested them. Ballots had to be returned by US mail or hand-delivered at our April 19 fundraiser event. They were separated from all identifying information before counting. A process of Ranked Choice Voting/Single Transferable Vote was used to determine apportionment of delegates. Write-in votes and "None of the Above" were also counted.
THE COUNT
| Candidate | 1st round votes = delegates |
2nd round votes = delegates |
| Jasmine Sherman | 1 (3.7%) = 0 | 1 (3.7%) = 0 |
| Jill Stein | 23 (85.2%) = 7 | 24 (28%) = 8 |
| Jorge Zavala | 1 (3.7%) = 0 | 0 (0%) = 0 |
| Jean de Smet | 0 (0%) = 0 | 0 (0%) = 0 |

Results are in for the 2024 major party presidential primaries (no surprises there, but 22% of Republicans voted against Trump, and 15% of Democrats voted against Biden). What about the Green presidential primary? If you are a Green Party member, you can still vote in our Presidential Preference Poll. Three recognized candidates are on the ballot, and we will count votes for write-in candidates and "None of the Above." As usual, GP internal elections are run by Ranked Choice Voting, and the results will determine proportional allocation of CT state delegates to the party's national convention (scheduled for August 15-18, online).
To participate, download your ballot and mail it in. Ballots must be received by April 26.
This will be a fun night with live music by Paddy Whack and Post-Traumatic Jazz Disorder, as well as a silent auction! The CT Green Party needs to raise funds to support our ballot access drive this year, to get our Presidential and US Senate candidates on the CT ballot. There is a pot luck for a few supplies and sides, but we will have catered entrees, including gluten-free and vegan options. RSVP here.
