[fgp-chat] FWD: GPVA Presidential Primary Preference Poll

[Dr. Christopher Fink]

Greetings All,


Hope this finds you and your loved ones well. We are writing to you 
today with information regarding needed actions for your participation 
in our GPVA 2020 Presidential Primary as well as links to candidate 
websites to learn more about officially recognized and active campaigns 
and designated discussion groups where Virginia Greens can lobby for and 
learn more about candidates.


The GPVA Presidential Primary will be conducted from April 20th to 26th. 
All Greens presently residing in Virginia are eligible to vote in this 
primary. Here are the details:


1)  You must be registered on the GPVA website, vagreenparty.org 
<http://vagreenparty.org>. (If for any reason you cannot register 
online, please contact your local rep or the GPVA General Secretary for 
assistance.)


2)   After logging in to the GPVA website you can request a voter code 
by using the "Request a Voting Code" form under the "Contacts" menu. You 
may only request a code one time.


3)   By Monday, April 20th, you will receive your voting code by email, 
together with instructions for how to cast your ballot.


4)   The online ballot will include the name of every active candidate, 
but officially recognized candidates will be identified as such. The 
ballot is "ranked choice," that is, on your ballot you will rank some, 
none, or all of the candidates as you choose.


5)    Information on all active candidates for the Green Party 
Presidential Nomination is available at this link 
(https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lsfRXRZTMYsHRp7SMrjdPo3SZiE9NX8ThSkdxzmxL3A/edit)


Note that you are eligible to vote in the GPVA primary if you currently 
or permanently reside in the state of Virginia and have registered as a 
Green Party of Virginia member on our website. Registration as a voter 
in the state of Virginia is not required, and immigration status does 
not affect eligibility.


The Green Party of the United States Presidential Nominating Convention 
is currently scheduled for July 9-12 at Wayne State University in 
Detroit, Michigan. The GPVA is allotted five delegates, and your vote in 
our primary will help determine who our presidential candidate will be. 
Please go to vagreenparty.org <http://vagreenparty.org> now and request 
your voter code.

Individual voter codes will be sent out on April 20th, 2020 along with 
information about the candidates, including a summary of our state 
party's interactions with them.


There has been a thread created on our GPUS Facebook Discussion Group 
for Virginia Green members to lobby for and discuss candidates. Look for 
the thread here by searching “Presidential Primary in the search bar at 
the top of the page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/vagreens/?ref=share


Also the GPVA website has a Forum section to start discussion threads:
