CREATING A NEW GREEN PARTY



There are two possible processes that are available to us in order to register a new green political party with Elections Alberta.

1. To collect the signatures of about 7,500 eligible electors on a petition. The number of signature must equal .3% of the total number of eligible electors in Alberta and must be collected within a specified period of time.

2. To endorse about 50 independent green candidates at the next general election. The number of candidates must equal half the total number of constituencies at the time of the election. Once the required number of independent green candidates is registered, the party comes into effect and will be printed on the ballot forms.

We can target both these options at the same time by recruiting members and establishing a list of potential candidates in readiness for the next Alberta general election in 2012.

With your support a provincial green party can once more take its place in Alberta.
