Petitioning

THIS PAGE IS OUT OF DATE. IT WILL BE UPDATED SOON WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE 2023 PETITIONING PROCESS!

Thank you for volunteering to sign and circulate a petition for Green Party candidates to be on the ballot in 2020! Please find petitioning materials below.

The official petition files start with the phrase "State Nomination Paper Political Body DSBE-PB 2020". It must be printed on LEGAL size (8.5 x 14" paper) paper, double-sided, head-to-head, or the state will not accept them. Please be careful you're printing correctly before continuing! There's a few versions of this form depending on where you live, please print the one that matches where you live:

• • If you live in the 45th district (west hills of Pittsburgh), get the State Nomination Paper form that ends with the name "WASSERMANN".

  • If you live in the 23rd district (east end of Pittsburgh), get the State Nomination Paper form that ends with the name "WALKER".

  • If you live in the 39th district (south hills of Pittsburgh), get the State Nomination Paper form that ends with the name "WEISS".

  • If you live in the 64th district (Venango County), get the State Nomination Paper form that ends with the name "BAGDES-CANNING - VENANGO".

  • If you live in the 127th district (Berks County), get the State Nomination Paper form that ends with the name "RIVERA".

  • If you live anywhere else in Pennsylvania, get the State Nomination Paper form that ends with the word "STATEWIDE".

The "HOW TO COLLECT SIGNATURES" file has some advice on collecting signatures correctly. "Petitioning 101" also gives some advice on petitioning, especially in public, if you choose to collect in public locations. If so, please be sure to wear a mask, and use gloves and sanitary supplies! Local Green Parties can help you get those supplies if you need them.

Once you've signed the petition and asked your friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers to sign too, return the petitions before July 28th to:
