*Candidates included in this list correspond to the definition of Green candidates and officers here gpus.org/elections/green-party-candidate-officeholder-definition, which includes that to be included in this list, one can only be a member of the Green Party in a state and not also a member of a competing ballot status party. In some states where there is no voter registration-by-party, some state Green Parties allow dual dues-paying membership in the Green Party and in other ballot qualified parties, and count those candidates in their own lists of Green Party candidates, which this list does not. In April 2 elections, this applied to several candidates in Wisconsin.
