The Green Mountain Party was formed earlier this year to influence politics and government in Vermont. It is fiscally conservative. Vermont has two methods for newly-qualifying parties to get on the ballot. If they show they are organized in any ten towns by the end of an odd year, they are ballot-qualified and can nominate by convention with no need for petitions.
Or, they can place nominees on the November ballot by petition. The nominees will have the party name on the ballot next to their name. Those petitions are due in August of the election year. The Green Mountain Party will not meet the deadline for having committees in ten towns, but it is free to use the petition method later this year if it wishes.
Obviously the name “Green Mountain Party” is a reference to Vermont’s being known as the Green Mountain State, but it certainly sounds like a name that would be likely to cause confusion with the Green Party.
Such as the Mountain Party in West Virginia.
The potential confusion is probably less of an issue in Vermont, as the Green Party in Vermont is very weak; most of the activist base that would probably be Greens in other states is in and around the Progressive Party, from my understanding.
