The Green Party voted on August 2 over the location of its 2016 presidential convention.
Houston was chosen.
The party has never before had a presidential convention in the South.
The dates will be August 4-7, currently the latest presidential convention of any party in 2016.
Currently there are five active candidates seeking the Green Party Presidential Nomination for 2016: Darryl Cherney, Jill Stein, Kent Mesplay, Bill Kreml, and Sedinam Kinamo Christin Moyowasifza-Curry.
The party's co-chairs were elected by delegates from state Green Parties and Green caucuses at the party's 2015 Annual National Meeting in St. Louis, Missouri. The meeting took place at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
The Green Party's Steering Committee is comprised of seven co-chairs, one secretary, and one treasurer. The committee is elected to staggered two-year terms by means of Instant Runoff Voting.
Jan Martell (North Carolina) was elected national secretary of the Green Party.
The newly elected co-chairs are Sanda Everett (California) and Bahram Zandi (Maryland).
Andrea Mérida (Colorado) and Tamar Yager (Virginia) were reelected, Ms. Mérida after serving a partial term.
