1996: The
Green Party of Connecticut qualified for
ballot status for presidential elections only in November
1996.
In Connecticut, ballot status
is achieved office by office, for any party receiving 1% or more
in a race for each office. In the next electoral cycle, if a
candidate from the same party runs for the same office, the candidate
is automatically on the ballot without having to petition for
the ballot line. (If a party receives at least 20% for Governor
or has 20% of the partisan registration total, it qualifies for
all races).
