The Arizona Green Party is petitioning to be on the 2010 ballot. It needs 20,449 signatures by March 2010, and already has 4,000 signatures.

An earlier post today, which has been removed, erroneously said the Arizona Green Party was doing a registration drive.

As far as is known, the Arizona and New Mexico Green Parties are the only state Green Parties that are petitioning now for the 2010 election. States in which the Green Party is not now on the ballot, and in which it could theoretically be petitioning for 2010 (even before it has chosen any candidates for 2010), are Alabama, Alaska (a registration drive), Arkansas, Georgia, Hawaii, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. The party is in court against the ballot access laws of North Carolina and Tennessee. Theoretically the party could be petitioning in Oklahoma, but since the Oklahoma law is fairly likely to change soon, it would be foolish to be petitioning in Oklahoma now.
