The Georgia Green Party is Affiliated with:

Green Parties and the Greens/ Green Party (USA)
Some of the provisions in the above by-laws and policies are derived
from the laws below, others were drawn from examples developed by other national, state and local Green organization's
by-laws. Some came from writers of legalese (for this we apologize), some of the ideas came from Green activists
who participated in the process of developing these documents over the years and the centuries of evolving understanding
we inherit as members of the movement for non-violence, justice, democracy and the ecology.
Georgia Election Code
As a Political Body registered under the state election code, we
are also subject to the provisions of state and federal law in our operations. For a complete copy of the
current Election Code (Official Code of Georgia, unannotated Title 21, Chapter 2) or the Georgia Ethics in Government
Act (Title 21, Chapter 5), please call the Secretary of State's Office, Elections Division at 404/ 656-2871 and
request that a free copy be mailed to you.
If you'd like to see briefly what the Election Code has to say about
the ballot access process, write-in votes or some other subject, check out these links:
If you wish to see the annotations to the case law litigating the
provisions of the election code (or any other state law), go to a public Library and asked to be shown the Official
Code of Georgia, Annotated. This will also be available at any law library, including the one accessible
to the public at your county courthouse. There, you will also find the case reporters that include
the full text of the court decisions cited in the Code annotations. If you need help, ask anyone you see
at the library. If they say "no", ask someone else till someone says yes. They are
our laws (in the sense that we are governed by them, if not that we wrote many of them), we deserve access to them.
Links to state and federal legislative,
administrative, and judicial source materials.
This is very incomplete, any additional on-line source material you
wish to recommend for inclusion in this site is welcome at the author's
e-mail address.
Like Documents of Local Affiliates

documents that function as local by-laws. In the future, these links will go directly to the documents, instead
of through the local pages.
