A state meeting and nomination convention will be held on July 21, 2024 at 10 am via Zoom. Please refer to the following sections from the GPCO bylaws:
4.1.1. In order for official decisions to be made at a state meeting, a quorum of at least 60% of local chapters must be represented, with a minimum number of voting participants (registered in the Green Party of Colorado not less than 180 days) equal to twice the number of local chapters represented. Exceptions apply to persons who have: become eligible to vote via new citizenship; or have been released from parole and have been re-granted their right to vote; or have recently reached voting age and have subsequently registered with the Green Party within the 180 day window.
For example, at a minimum, if there are 10 official Green Party chapters in Colorado, 6 chapters must be present at the state meeting, totaling 12 individuals.
The active chapters and caucuses are:
Denver
Arapahoe
Mesa
Longmont
Latinx caucus
Youth caucus
Officer elections for 2 cochairs, a secretary and a treasurer will be held at this meeting. Candidates must be an active member of one of the locals/caucuses listed above and must have been registered Green for at least 6 months from the date of the state meeting. Please send nominations to andreamerida@gmail.com. Eligible persons may self-nominate. The deadline for submission of nominations is July 14, 2024 at 11:59 pm. No exceptions will be made.
