The 2020 Green Party presidential primaries were a series of primary elections, caucuses and state conventions in which voters elected delegates to represent a candidate for the Green Party's nominee for President of the United States at the 2020 Green National Convention. The primaries, were held in numerous U.S. states on various dates from early spring into early summer of 2020, and featured elections publicly funded, concurrent with the Democratic Party and Republican Party primaries, and elections privately funded by the Green Party, held non-concurrently with the major party primaries.

There were 357 out of a possible 358 delegates elected to the Green National Convention, which took place over July 9 to July 12. A candidate needed a simple majority of these delegates to become the Green Party's nominee in the 2020 presidential election. ^{[2] [3]}

Howie Hawkins became the presumptive nominee on June 20 after passing the simple majority of delegates needed to win the nomination. Hawkins was nominated as the Green Party's presidential candidate on July 11.

Background

Former nominees

The former Green Party presidential nominees, in chronological order, are consumer advocate Ralph Nader, political activist David Cobb, congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, and political activist Jill Stein. Both Nader and Stein received the nomination for president twice from the Green Party. The former vice presidential nominees of the Green Party are environmentalist and economist Winona LaDuke, political activist Pat LaMarche, organizer and hip-hop activist Rosa Clemente, National Coordinator of the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign Cheri Honkala, and human rights activist Ajamu Baraka. In 2016, LaDuke became the first Native American woman and Green Party member to receive an Electoral College vote for vice president. ^[4]

The vice presidential nominees from the preceding 2016 and 2012 elections, Baraka and Honkala respectively, endorsed Howie Hawkins for president. ^[5]

Candidates

Further information: Green Party of the United States

This section lists candidates that have at some point been considered active by the party's Presidential Campaign Support Committee. ^[6] Holding an active status does not mean the candidate has received official recognition from the party.

On July 24, 2019, the Green Party of the United States officially recognized Howie Hawkins' campaign. ^[7] Nearly a month later, Dario Hunter's campaign was also recognized. ^[8] In February 2020, David Rolde's campaign met the requirements for recognition. ^[9]

The remaining candidates did not obtain formal recognition by meeting the established criteria by the party's Presidential Campaign Support Committee. ^[10]

Popular vote counts presented here are incomplete, as many states have reported their delegates but not the corresponding popular vote.

Notes

1. This total excludes delegates from the Green Party of Rhode Island, as they have chosen not to send a voting delegation to the Green National Convention.
2. Hunter received the most votes of any candidate and was declared the winner by the MA Secretary of State in that state’s primary. The no preference option received the most votes overall.
3. The Green Party of Rhode Island have announced they will not be placing any candidates on their ballot line in the 2020 Presidential Election. The party only sent no-preference observers to the Green National Convention.
4. Total votes is based on incomplete data, as many states have not released popular vote totals for primaries, caucuses, and state conventions.
5. Popular vote victories
6. The Green Party of the United States established a base criteria in order to be considered an official candidate for the party's presidential nomination. This base criteria requires perspective candidates to gather at least 100 signatures from Party members, fundraising at least a total of five thousand dollars from party members in multiple states, filing with the FEC, completing a questionnaire provided by the Party, and joining a local Green Party. Official recognition is required to receive the party's nomination.
7. Alaska, Louisiana, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming, and all of the territories of the United States have inactive Green Parties, as such, they are either ineligible or unable to send delegates to the Green National Convention
8. In the below table, blank cells indicate the candidate was not a ballot option or approved write-in candidate. Shaded cells indicate candidates that are not officially recognized by the Green Party.
9. The number of delegates apportioned is calculated by the percentage of votes received. Votes not cast for a “surviving candidate” or a candidate that received less than 14% of total votes cast, become uncommitted. As a result a single delegate was awarded to uncommitted.
10. The Green Party of Rhode Island announced they will not be placing any candidates on their ballot line in the 2020 Presidential Election. The party will also only send no-preference observers to the Green National Convention.
11. No candidates were on the DC Statehood Green Party Presidential Primary ballot, only a Write-In option was available, and Howie Hawkins was the only certified write in candidate.
12. This primary election was held through ranked choice voting, the following are the results of the final round in which delegates were allocated.
13. 1 for No Candidate, and 1 Undeclared Delegate
14. As a result of the three way tie in the preference vote, the Nebraska Green Party decided to send only 3 delegates to the GNC, instead of the 4 delegates they were credentialed.
15. The Green Party of Minnesota held a Presidential Preference Caucus Straw Poll on February 25th 2020. Dario Hunter was the winner of this contest. Delegates will be awarded at the GPMN state convention on June 29
16. The Louisiana Green Party decided to send only 2 delegates to the GNC, instead of the 4 delegates they were credentialed.
