Hawaii Green Party Back on Ballot
April 2nd, 2010The Hawaii Green Party is now a ballot-qualified party. The state has already approved the party’s petition, which required 692 valid signatures. The party will now be given its own primary, and anyone can get on the party’s primary ballot with either 25 or 15 signatures, depending on which office. Any registered voter may sign.
The only other ballot-qualified parties in Hawaii this year, so far, are the Democratic, Republican and Libertarian Parties. The Free Energy Party was also petitioning for party status and it is not known if that party’s petition was successful. The deadline was April 1.

Hawaii population : 1,295,178 – Jul 2009 Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division.
Only 692 signatures required. Only 691 signatures short of perfect. (I would expect a candidate to sign his/her on declaration of candidacy.) Hawaii makes a state like Oklahoma, about 74,000 sigs with only about twice the population, look Stalinist. Oklahoma ought to have a hammer and sickle on its flag.
