Jill Stein Campaign Puts Green Party on Ballot in Utah

The Jill Stein Campaign reported this afternoon that it has collected over 3,000 signatures to put the Green Party on the ballot in Utah.


For the past week, volunteers and staff for Jill Stein for President have been working day and night in Salt Lake City and neighboring communities. With Utah, the Green Party of the United States has secured 19 ballot lines, and has not missed a single deadline in working towards the goal of winning ballot access in almost every state.

“We succeeded in Utah through the hard work of our volunteers and campaign workers,” said Jill Stein. “I am committed to winning the right of voters to vote Green in every state in the union, and I am thankful to our supporters for donating the money and time to bring Utah voters into a fuller democracy.” Utah law required 2000 registered voters to signature their intention to join a new party in order for that party to win ballot access.

The Stein Campaign has also noted that these ballot access drives cost money, on average $6,000 per state, and is asking for your support to continue their efforts. The Stein Campaign has already helped kick start a new State Chapter of the Green Party in New Hampshire, and helped launch petition drives for ballot access in Indiana, Vermont, and Connecticut.
