Green Party Precinct Conventions - March 11

We greatly need your help to succeed! Please do the following:
1) Sign up on our MAILING LIST to receive email updates on the planning. Be sure to click yes to the ballot access question.
2) Attend a precinct convention. Your signature on the attendance sheet and on the petition lets you count twice.
3) Forms are at the bottom of this page. The GPTX forms fit on std. letter paper whereas the Secretary of State form requires legal paper. Please have the petitions notarized before sending them to us. Your bank will likely do it for free. Need a lot of forms? The Secretary of State's election division is required to provide them. Call (512)463-5650 and ask for the forms department to place an order. Update - Not interested in collecting signatures, please sign our single signature petition by clicking here.
4) Please consider donating for the drive. Your donation will help us pay for forms, calls, and brochures.
What makes for a good signature:
1) The signer must be a registered voter
2) They can not have voted in the 2008 primaries or primary run-off elections or participated in another party's conventions. They can participate in the GPTX convention and also sign.
3) Signers can sign one petition for a party and one for a candidate for each office on the ballot.
4) Only the signature needs to be entered by the signer.
5) The signers birth date or voter's id number are required. Also required are their address, county, signing date, and printed name. Ditto marks are acceptable when applicable.
6) Circulator must be capable of swearing to the affidavit of circulator; no other restrictions exist on who may circulate.
7) Each circulator has to have an affidavit executed for his part of the petition (the page or pages he circulated). Sections of petitions must be bound or sequentially numbered so it is clear which affidavit pertains to which section.
