Green Party 2004 Delegate Allocation Details

The calculation used to determine number of delegates allocated to each state's Green Party delegation is based on the state's electoral vote, the number of Greens elected (2000-2003), the support the party received in a major election (2000-2003), and the size of the state's Coordinating Committee. These factors are weighted according to the formulas below.

The state's electoral vote × 0.5 (Column A)
Greens elected 2000 through 2003 (Column B)

For each elected Green

Award 1 point if the candidate garnered 500 or more votes (Column E).
Award 0.2 points if the candidate garnered less than 500 votes (included in Column F).

Award 0.2 points for each elected official who switched to the Green party after taking office (included in Column F).

The state's Green Party Voting Strength × 1.75 (Column C). For most states, this criteria is based on the support Presidential contender Ralph Nader received in the 2000 election. A state party may, however, subsititute another 2000-2003 statewide race that had both Democratic and Republican opposition. To compute the electoral strength, multiply the number of votes cast for the candidate (Column G) by the percentage of the statewide vote the candidate received (Column H) then ÷ by 100,000.
The number of delegates that each state has on the Coordinating Committee × 1.75 (Column D).

Total the points from each of the four criteria and then round-up any fractional part to the next largest whole number to determine the number of delegates the state will send to the Green Party Convention.

We thank Gray Newman of the Green Party for his assistance in compiling this data.
