Presens Quorum 0.6666
Consens Quorum A Majority of Yes and No Votes
Background
The Delegate Apportionment Committee (DAC) was elected
pursuant to Green Party of the United States (GPUS) proposal
175, worked for 10 months discussing and negotiating
apportionment issues, achieved consensus, accepted
amendments, and proposed a new delegate apportionment
formula in the form of proposal 256. This proposal needed
66.7% approval to pass; proposal 256 received 65% approval.
The DAC had been charged with proposing apportionment in
general, including the Presidential nominating convention;
after their consensus proposal failed, members ceased work
on proposals.
GPUS proposal 272, a revision of the proposal 256, was then
sponsored by several states, adopted as a formula on April
16, 2007 and implemented on July 4, 2007 with 73% approval.
Since the DAC had intended to propose a model for the
convention apportionment similar in structure to that
proposed in 256, and since several of the people who opposed
proposal 256 and 272 said that they thought that such a
performance-based menu-option model was suitable for the
convention apportionment, this model is being proposed for
convention apportionment.
The current proposal was developed, with minor amendments,
from a proposal for convention apportionment approved by all
the members of the original DAC who remained to the end of
the committee's work.
Proposal
This proposal presents a formula to be used to calculate
delegate apportionment for GPUS Presidential nominating
conventions, starting with the 2008 convention and until
such time another proposal is proposed and adopted.
The new Delegate Apportionment Committee to be elected in
2010, pursuant to proposal 272, shall revisit issues of
proportionate representation in the GPUS national
Presidential nominating convention in light of experience
with this formula and make a new proposal for delegate
apportionment to the 2012 national convention in 2011. If
that proposal is not adopted, this formula shall continue to
be in effect.
ALLOCATION OF DELEGATES TO THE GPUS PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATING
CONVENTION
ARTICLE I. CALCULATION - The apportionment for the national
nominating convention will be calculated every four years,
in the odd numbered year preceding the national election
year by the Apportionment Standing Committee. Pursuant to
proposal 272, this committee will have collected the
necessary information from state parties to calculate the
National Committee apportionment. The Apportionment Standing
Committee shall use this same data to calculate the
apportionment for the Presidential nominating convention.
The Apportionment Standing Committee shall consider possible
corrections to the data since the previous calculation.
Should there be any ambiguities in the application of the
calculation method, the committee shall rule on these
according to its internal challenge process and standards.
The results of such rulings shall be reported on its
publicly accessible listserv.
The Apportionment Standing Committee shall present the
results of its calculation of the 2008 convention as soon as
possible, and no longer than two months following the
adoption of this proposal. It shall present the results of
recalculations to the National Committee by November of the
year preceding the Presidential election year. The results
of the apportionment recalculation must again be approved by
the National Committee by a simple majority vote, and shall
become effective for the following Presidential nominating
convention.
ARTICLE II. DELEGATES AND VOTES -Each delegate seat counts
for one vote. To compensate for the expense, difficulty and
environmental burden of travel to the convention, proxy
votes are allowed, under the following rules:
1. The number of proxy votes per delegation may not exceed
the number of seated delegates on that delegation.
2. Delegations may cast any allowed proxy votes by
consulting their constituent body or consulting a specific
delegate whose proxy is held.
3. Delegations with at least four voting members also have
the option of casting the proxy votes proportionally to the
votes of the seated delegates as a whole.
4. In delegations where individual seated delegates carry
proxy votes, no seated delegate may cast more than one proxy
vote.
ARTICLE III. SIZE OF THE GPUS PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATING
CONVENTION - The Presidential nominating convention shall
consist of 800 ±5 delegates when all accredited state
parties and caucuses are included. Should any new state
party or caucus become accredited after an apportionment,
the convention will be expanded by the number of delegates
allotted to the newly entering member party or caucus.
ARTICLE IV. MINIMUM VOTE - All accredited state parties are
entitled to a minimum of five votes and five delegates.
Accredited caucuses are guaranteed three votes. Any
GPUS-accredited caucus of a diversity group that is
under-represented on the National Committee by a factor of 2
to 1 or greater, relative to the general population, shall
be apportioned five votes.
ARTICLE V. PROPORTIONAL ALLOCATION METHOD - Using the data
collected from each state party, the Apportionment Standing
Committee will determine the proportion of delegates
allocated to each state party to the national convention
using four measures of relative Green Party strength. These
measures are based on estimating each state party's active
contribution to the Green Party in terms of campaign
strength, in-state voting strength, Presidential voting
strength, and number of members.
Within most of these categories, there are multiple methods
of determining the strength of a state party relative to
parties in other states. The state may choose which method
in each category to use. If the state does not choose, the
Apportionment Standing Committee will use the method in each
category that gives each state party its highest possible
score. The final score is given in terms of a percentage of
the national Presidential nominating convention.
The formula for calculating the number of delegates
allocated to a given state party is as follows:
1. Using the choices of the state party, calculate the score
in each of the four categories. Normalize each category so
that the total percentage is 100%.
2. Add up these scores and divide by 4 to get an average
score. This is the percentage of the delegation designated
to the state.
3. If the percentage is less than the minimum percentage
threshold of delegates allocated to each state, then five
delegates will be allocated to that state party. The minimum
percentage threshold is
{5 /[800 - (number of delegates apportioned to accredited
caucuses)]} x 100%.
4. If the percentage is greater than the minimum threshold,
that is the initial percentage of delegates allocated to the
state party.
Once the initial percentages are calculated for all
accredited parties, these values must be normalized to
assure that the total percent of delegates equals 100%. The
formula for normalizing the initial percentages is as
follows:
5. Set all states with initial percentage scores below the
minimum threshold value equal to the minimum threshold.
6. Add up the initial percentage scores of all states and
divide each state's initial percentage by this total.
7. Repeat steps 5. and 6. until the total percentage of
delegates allotted to all states (800 - number of delegates
apportioned to accredited caucuses) equals approximately
100% (will usually take 3 to 4 iterations),
The number of delegates allocated to each state is
calculated by multiplying the normalized percentage of each
state by [800 - (number of delegates apportioned to
accredited caucuses)] and rounding off to the nearest
integer.
8. The threshold for rounding may need to be adjusted in
order to bring the total number of delegates within the
range of ±5 of the target number.
ARTICLE VI. ALLOCATION MEASURES
The Apportionment Standing Committee will seek submissions
of data from state Green Party organizations according to
the following criteria:
1. Membership
The number of Green Party members in the state party as
close as possible to the date of the start of the work of
the committee. (This will then be calculated as a percentage
of the total number of Green Party members in the United
States.)
Green Party membership is defined as follows:
* In states where the Green Party can register voters, Green
Party membership is defined as the number of voters that are
registered in the Green Party. Green Party membership in
these states may also include those who are ineligible to
vote but are extended formal membership by the state party.
* In states without Green Party voter registration, Green
Party membership is defined as the number of people who have
filled the qualifications for membership in that state
party, have signed up to be Green Party members, and are
included in the database of current members in that state
party. Calculations and email lists may not be substituted
for membership rolls. State parties without partisan
registration that have Green Party primaries may use the
number of voters who received Green Party primary ballots as
a back up measure for membership.
Solely for the purposes of standardizing this apportionment
measure between states, after voting in a primary of another
political party, Green Party members should re-affirm their
Green Party membership with their state party. This may be
handled on the honor system and does not require a
significant extra administrative burden for the state party.
The state party is free to count its own membership however
it wants for other purposes; this recommendation is solely
for reporting this particular measure to the Apportionment
Committee in a manner that makes the numbers as comparable
as possible.
If state legal action results in a state Green party having
its members legally invalidated, they may continue to use
the same membership count until the next apportionment
cycle.
NOTE: For the purposes of #2, Campaign Strength, and #3,
State Voting Strength, "Green Party Office Holders" and
"Green Party Candidates" must be Green Party members. They
may not also be members of the Republican or Democratic
Party or running solely on another political party's ballot
line. For State Voting Strength, if a candidate is listed on
more than one party's ballot line, only the votes for the
Green Party ballot line can be counted.
2. Campaign Strength
A. The number of Green Party Office Holders in your state as
a percentage of the total number of Green Party Office
Holders in all affiliated state parties. Green Party office
holders are defined as members of the Green Party who are
elected to public office in elections (not including
internal party offices such as central committees). If they
received less than 50 votes to win the office, they will
count half.
B. The number of local and statewide Green Party Candidates
that ran for office in your state during the last four-year
election cycle as a percentage of the total number of local
and statewide Green Party Candidates that ran for office in
the U.S. in all affiliated state parties during the same
period. Local or statewide Green Party Candidates are
defined as Green Party members who run and appear on the
ballot in public elections. If they received less than 50
votes, they will count half.
C. The percentage of the total U.S. population that resides
in your state, multiplied by 0.5. This measure is designed
to compensate for overly restrictive ballot access laws in
some states. States are only eligible to use this measure if
they do not have ballot access and make a claim that ballot
access laws are overly restrictive in their state; states
with ballot access may not use this measure for this
category. If used here, population may not be used in #3,
State Voting Strength or in #4, Presidential Voting
Strength.
D. As another option to compensate for overly restrictive
ballot access laws, states may choose to repeat the
Membership measure (Article VI, Section 1, above) in this
category. States are only eligible to use this measure if
they do not have ballot access and make a claim that ballot
access laws are overly restrictive in their state; states
with ballot access may not use this measure for this
category.
3. State Voting Strength
A. The number of votes cast for Green Party Candidates in
your state during the last four-year election cycle as a
percentage of the total number of votes cast for Green Party
Candidates in the U.S during the same time. State parties
may use the number of signers of state party ballot access
petitions as equivalent to votes cast.
B. The highest number of votes received by a single Green
Party Candidate in your state during the last four-year
election cycle as a percentage of the total number of Green
Party votes received by the highest vote getter in each
state in the U.S. during the same time. State parties may
use the number of signers of state party ballot access
petitions as equivalent to votes cast.
C. The highest vote percentage received by a Green Party
candidate in your state during the last four years in a
statewide partisan election for Governor, Lt. Governor or
U.S. Senate (or Mayor or Chair of the City Council for the
District of Columbia) that is contested by both major
political parties, weighted against the same data from every
affiliated state Green Party. Because this measure, unlike
all the others, is a percentage of a percentage, its effect
shall be capped at a maximum of five extra delegates.
D. The percentage of the total U.S. population that resides
in your state, multiplied by 0.5. This measure is designed
to compensate for overly restrictive ballot access laws in
some states. If used here, population may not be used in #2,
Campaign Strength or in #4, Presidential Voting Strength.
States are only eligible to use this measure if they do not
have ballot access and make a claim that ballot access laws
are overly restrictive in their state; states with ballot
access may not use this measure for this category.
E. As another option to compensate for overly restrictive
ballot access laws, states may choose to repeat the
Membership measure (Article VI, Section 1, above) in this
category. States are only eligible to use this measure if
they do not have ballot access and make a claim that ballot
access laws are overly restrictive in their state; states
with ballot access may not use this measure for this
category.
4. Presidential Voting Strength
A. The number of votes cast for Green Party presidential
nominee in your state in the November 2000 general election
as a percentage of the number of votes cast for the same
candidate nationwide.
B. The number of votes cast for Green Party presidential
nominee in your state in the November 2004 general election
as a percentage of the number of votes cast for the same
candidate nationwide.
C. The percentage of the total U.S. population that resides
in your state, multiplied by 0.5. (This measure is designed
to compensate for overly restrictive ballot access laws in
some states. If used here, population may not be used in #2,
Campaign Strength or in #3, State Voting Strength.)
D. As another option to compensate for overly restrictive
ballot access laws, states may choose to repeat the
Membership measure (Article VI, Section 1, above) in this
category.

Presens Quorum 0.6666
Consens Quorum A Majority of Yes and No Votes
Background
Previous documents adopted to govern the Green Party's previous
Presidential Nominating Conventions included provisions sunsetting
those rules. It is therefore necessary to adopt a new set of rules to
govern subsequent Conventions. Your Committee on Bylaws, Rules,
Policies and Procedures, having reviewed those rules sunset following
previous Conventions and the direction of the National Committee in its
action to adopt Proposal #168, has considered and endorsed for National
Committee consideration the adoption of the following rules.
The following articles include rules to govern the Presidential
Nominating Convention; for the credentialing of delegations to the
Presidential Nominating Convention; for promoting the use of
proportional representation in the selection of state party
delegations; for the creation and filing of state party delegation
plans and their results; and to provide for the applications for
waivers from these rules. Proposal
Resolved, that the National Committee of the Green Party of the United
States hereby adopts the following as the "Rules of the Presidential
Nominating Convention of the Green Party of the United States."

The convention shall consist of one Green Party delegation from each
state entitled under the U.S. Constitution to choose members of the
Presidential Electoral College, and from those territories and
districts of the United States that are currently disfranchised.
2.1.2 Disfranchised Districts and Territories
Until otherwise amended by the National Committee of the Green Party of
the United States, the list of those territories and districts that are
considered to be disfranchised and are entitled to send a delegation to

convention.
Section 2-2 States With An Accredited Green Party
2-2.1 In those states with a statewide Green Party organized under the
election laws of their state, and accredited as a member state party of
the Green Party of the United States, the Delegation to each
Presidential Nominating Convention shall be chosen pursuant to that
state party?s rules for naming their delegation to such convention. The

accordance with the state party's rules.
Section 2-3 States With A Green Party, Not Accredited With the Green Party of the United States
2-3.1 In those states with a statewide Green Party organized under the
election laws of their state, but not accredited as a member state
party of the Green Party of the United States, the Delegation to each
Presidential Nominating Convention shall be chosen pursuant to that
state party's rules for naming their delegation to such convention. The
votes to which each such Delegation is entitled shall be apportioned in
accordance with the state party's rules. In those states with no
accredited statewide Green Party, no application for such an organizing
party shall be granted unless the Credentials Committee finds that the
applicant would be eligible to join the Green Party of the United
States were it to apply.
Section 2-4 States With More Than One Green Party
2-4.1 In those states where two or more statewide Green Parties are
organized under the election laws of their state prior to October 1
preceding each Presidential Nominating Convention, the Delegation to
such Convention shall be chosen as provided by the rules of the
statewide Green Party which is accredited as a member state party of
the Green Party of the United States. The votes to which the delegation
is entitled shall be apportioned as provided by such rules.
2-4.2 In those states where two or more statewide Green Parties are
organized under the election laws of their state prior to October 1
preceding each Presidential Nominating Convention, where neither is
accredited as a member of the Green Party of the United States and
where one but not both of the state parties retain ballot access from a
previous election and another party from the state does not have and
cannot reasonably be expected to obtain ballot access, the Delegation
to such Convention shall be chosen as provided by the rules of the
statewide Green Party with ballot access. The votes to which each such
Delegation is entitled shall be apportioned in accordance with the
state party's rules.
Section 2-5 States Without A Green Party
2-5.1 In those states where no Green Party is organized at a state
level, any three or more local Green organizations, cumulatively
comprising at least 15 individuals, may by joint resolution call a
statewide convention under such rules as may be provided in such joint
resolution, for the purpose of electing the state's delegation to the
Presidential Nominating Convention, where such statewide convention
also resolves to organize a statewide Green Party under the laws of the
state and to work for ballot access.
2-5.2 Those initiating the call and attending the convention are
subject to the following conditions regarding their political party
affiliation:
2-5.2(a) In states where party membership is defined by voter
registration - and one can legally register Green ? those comprising
the call and those attending the convention must be a registered Green
Party member; or
2-5.2(b) In states where party membership is defined by voter
registration - but one cannot legally register Green - one cannot be a
registered voter in another party; or
2-5.2(c) In states where party membership is not defined by voter registration, one cannot also be a member of another party.
2-5.3 Such a call shall be published to all Green locals within the
state which have been identified to the Secretary of the Green Party of
the United States; and such notice shall be published at least 30 days
prior to the proposed statewide convention.
2-5.4 Such a call shall be published to any statewide Green Party in a
geographically adjacent state for dissemination to each identified
Green local or state organization in such border state with a request
to alert any known Greens from the adjacent, unorganized state holding
the convention.
2-5.5 Such a call shall be sent to the Secretary of the Green Party of
the United States, so that the Secretary may publish the call to the
National Committee.
2-5.6 The failure of existing Green organizations within such an
unorganized state to publish a call for such a statewide convention
prior to March 15th of each year during which a Presidential Nominating
Convention is held shall serve as prima-facie evidence of that they
will not do so.
2-5.7 In those states with no statewide Green Party where no agreement
can be reached among a majority of participants in the state convention
on how or whether to elect a Delegation, no such Delegation shall be
seated, except by special dispensation of the National Committee, or of
the Presidential Nominating Convention once it has convened.
Section 2-6. Diversity and Representation in Delegations
2-6.1 Each state Green Party is urged to choose a Delegation that, in
addition to being representative of its membership, also reflects the
diversity of the people of that state.
2-6.2 Each state Green Party is encouraged to select its delegates in a
way that offers representation proportional to the support each
candidate enjoys within the party, parties or confederation of locals
represented by the delegation, and that allows the delegation to truly
reflect the diversity of people within the state.
Section 2-7. Delegation Plans for Selection and Instruction of Delegates
2-7.1 Deadline for Submission of Delegate Plans
2-7.1(a) At least 120 days prior to the convening of each Presidential
Nominating Convention, each state?s Green Party shall submit to the
Credentials Committee, a Delegate Plan for selecting and instructing
its delegation. The Credentials Committee shall post a copy of each
Delegate Plan on its website.
2-7.2 Content of Delegate Plans
2-7.2(a) Delegate Plans shall include a description of the methods used
to learn the preferences of state Green Party members for the
nomination for President at the Presidential Nominating Convention.
2-7.2(b) States are urged to provide in their Delegate Plans for a
delegate selection process that offers representation proportional to
the support each candidate enjoys within the state Green Party
represented by the Delegation (or similarly where there is no state
Green Party, as defined in Section 2-1) and that allows the Delegation
to reflect the diversity within the state Green Party and the state?s
population.
2-7.2(c) Delegate Plans shall provide explanation of the process to be
employed to apportion delegates among the candidates seeking the
nomination of the party, and for those that favor ?none of the above,"
?no nominee? or other such preference.
2-7.2(d) Delegate Plans may provide for alternates for delegates, but
shall not name, nor shall the Credentials Committee credential, more
alternates than the number of delegates to which the state is entitled.
Where alternates are provided for, Delegate Plans shall specify the
manner in which they take the place of delegates and the instructions
they have in doing so.
2-7.3 Change to Delegate Plans
2-7.3(a) After its Delegate Plan has been submitted to the Credential
Committee, no change to the rules used by a state Green Party for
selecting or instructing its delegation shall be binding unless the
state Green Party submits within thirty days of such change to the
Credentials Committee a supplementary report describing those
amendments.
Section 2-8. Reporting the Results of the Delegate Selection Process
2-8.1 Not later than 14 days following any action to fill seats on a
state Green Party's convention delegation, a state party shall file
with the Credentials Committee the results of its delegate selection
process, including vote totals and the proportion of support enjoyed by
each candidate seeking the nomination of the party, as well as a list
of delegates and alternates and an explanation of how each has been
instructed to vote in the first round of voting in the convention's
Presidential Nominating process.
2-8.2 A state-by-state summary of delegate pledges shall be made public
on the website of the Credential Committee in a timely manner.
Section 2-9. Compliance With These Rules
2-9.1 If compliance with these rules and a state's election laws
creates a significant burden to a state Green Party, it may apply to
the Credentials Committee for a waiver to such provisions of these
rules as would best serve the democratic engagement of that state Green
Party?s members in the national nominating process.
2-9.2 Each such application for a waiver shall be published on the
website of the Committee, accessible to members of the National
Committee and to Delegates and Alternates extended preliminary
credentials.
2-9.3 The Credentials Committee shall have the discretion to consider
such applications, and shall report to the National Committee each
action by the Credentials Committee to receive, hold a hearing on,
schedule debate on or consider the disposition of each such
application.
