The 2024 Green Party presidential primaries and caucuses are a series of electoral contests to elect delegates to the 2024 Green National Convention who will choose the Green Party's presidential nominee in the 2024 presidential election. The convention was held as a virtual event from August 15 to 18, 2024. [2]
The Green Party has run candidates for president in every election since 1996. Consumer advocate Ralph Nader was the party's nominee in 1996 and 2000. Political activist David Cobb was nominated in 2004; former U.S. congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was the nominee in 2008; physician and activist Jill Stein was nominated in 2012 and 2016; and activist Howie Hawkins was the Green nominee in 2020.

The Green Party of the United States (GPUS) is a federation of Green state political parties in the United States. The party promotes green politics, specifically environmentalism; nonviolence; social justice; participatory democracy; grassroots democracy; anti-war; anti-racism. As of 2023, it is the fourth-largest political party in the United States by voter registration, behind the Libertarian Party.
The Green-Rainbow Party (GRP) is the Massachusetts affiliate of the Green Party of the United States and a political designation in Massachusetts officially recognized by the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Up until 2020, it was an officially recognized political party in Massachusetts, losing that status as the result of vote tallies in the November 2020 election.
During the 2012 presidential primaries, 51 individuals sought the nomination of the Democratic Party. Incumbent President Barack Obama won the nomination unanimously at the 2012 Democratic National Convention and was re-elected as president in the general election by defeating Republican nominee Mitt Romney. As expected for the incumbent president, Obama won every primary election, but faced more difficulty than projected. Fifteen additional candidates appeared on primary ballots, and of these, four appeared on more than one ballot. Four qualified for convention delegates including: attorney John Wolfe, Jr., prison inmate Keith Russell Judd, perennial candidate Jim Rogers, and anti-abortion activist Randall Terry. Each of these had their delegates stripped prior to the convention due to technicalities.
The 2016 Green National Convention, in which delegates of the Green Party of the United States chose the party's nominees for president and vice president in the national election, was held August 4–7, 2016 in Houston, Texas.

The convention formally nominated Jill Stein as the party's presidential nominee and Ajamu Baraka as her running mate.
