Green Party of PA Kicks off Presidential Caucuses
While most head to the polls, Greens go to caucus rooms
This Tuesday, Green Party voters will not be heading to the polls. Instead, they will start convening, town-hall style, across the state in local caucuses to determine who their Presidential candidate will be. Each county-wide Green Party chapter will host its own caucuses at some point between April 20 and May 10. The votes from those caucuses will be aggregated and verified on May 18 and will determine Pennsylvania's delegates to the Green Party National Convention which will take place in July.
