Green Party

The Green Party has a two-stage process to determine its party list, a process that they claim is "the most democratic list selection process in the country". The initial list is determined by attendees of the annual Green Party conference, which was held during February 2020. In a departure from previous practice, the initial list was not publicly released, but media company Stuff published a partial list on 9 April 2020. ^[11]
