Join the progressive movement of citizens working to spread the message of the GREEN PARTY! We are now screening for candidates who will run for local offices throughout Suffolk County! Brand-new to the idea and getting anxiety just thinking about it?
Don’t worry, nobody feels 100% ready the first time – come get your feet wet and learn about what it takes to run a campaign, along with a team of activists thirsty for change! When a group of ridiculously wealthy individuals hijack the Democratic and Republican parties, giving us an illusion of choice, Americans lose their freedom to elect leaders who will truly represent the working class and an ecologically sustainable future.
We have a line on the ballot and you can help give voters a choice! It all starts at the local level!
2021 Political Calendar:
Note: These dates apply if our current ballot status does not change. Suffolk County canceled the public campaign financing program for two years.
- The general election is Nov. 2nd
- The primary is June 22nd, but that would not apply to the GP, IP, etc.
- The first day to collect signatures on petitions is April 13rd.
- Petitions must be filed May 18th through the 25th.
- This being an “off year,” Suffolk County and municipal elections are the ones being held. (Since the proposition to change SC legislative terms to 4 years failed, the legislature is up this year.)
- The village elections this year are March 16th and June 15th. The March 15th deadlines are fast approaching, for the June elections the petitioning period is April into June.
