Please see the 2008 precinct convention handbook file below.

I just wanted to forward this along to the SEC. Last year, I was told (during the petition drive) that we were required to have a minimum of 2 people for the conventions. Apparently, they have changed their minds and this changes the documents that Ramsey created last year regarding precinct conventions.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Dear Ms. Vidheecharoen-Glatz,

This email is in response to your question about a precinct convention, and
about the procedure used to elect a precinct chair.

There is no statutory requirement regarding the number of participants in
the precinct convention, and this matter is generally governed by party
rules.

The following rule (from Article II, Section 2, 2005 By-laws and Electoral
Rules, The Green Party of Texas) governs precinct organization and the
appointment of precinct chairs:

A) The Precinct Executive Committee shall consist of all Party members in
such a precinct. Each precinct shall choose from among its members a
Chairperson. The State Executive Committee may appoint an Acting Precinct
Chairperson for any Precinct in which no Party member volunteers to act as
Chairperson.

Thank you for your question

Elections Division

Office of the Secretary of State

Subject: question regarding precinct conventions

Can you tell me how many people must attend a precinct convention to be a
legitimate convention?

For instance, can 1 person hold a precinct convention and elect themselves
the precinct chair.

Thanks for your help...
