The Green Party of California (GPCA) is the California affiliate of the Green Party of the United States. The party is a ballot-qualified in California, first established as such in 1991, using the petition method of gaining state recognition.


As of October 20, 2014, there were 110,511 registered party members accounting for 0.62 percent of registered voters in California,[2]Mendocino, Nevada, and Humboldt counties have the highest per-capita number of Green Party members.[3]


To maintain qualified status[4] in California, a party must have registered voters equal to or more than 0.33% percent of the number of voters, or by the petition method, according to which a party must get petition signatures of 10% of registered voters in the previous gubernatorial election.[5]


In 1994 Margaret Garcia received 3.8 percent (315,079 votes) for Secretary of State, surpassing the 2 percent threshold necessary to retain statewide ballot status. Garcia's total retained ballot status for the Green Party of California, because after the November 1994 election, the number of voters needed to qualify (or re-qualify) went up to 89,007 (Green registrants stood at 78,992). Had Garcia not received the total she did, the Green Party of California would have lost its ballot status as of January 1995.


Since the 1994 elections, the party has had continuous ballot access in California.[6]


In 1996 Arcata, California, a city with a population of about 17,000, became the first city ever to have a Green majority on the city council, with three of five seats. Greens controlled the council from 1996–1998 and again from 2004-2006.[7]


In the 2000s Gayle McLaughlin won elections as city councilor and mayor in Richmond, California, running with the Green Party designation.


In the 2018 congressional elections, which utilized non-partisan blanket, "top two" primaries, three Green Party candidates advanced to the general elections.[8] In the 13th congressional district, Laura Wells advanced with 832 votes. In the 34th congressional district, Kenneth Mejia advanced with 8,987 votes. In the 40th congressional district, Rodolfo Cortes-Barragan advanced with 8,741 votes. Each will face off against Democratic incumbent opponents in the November general election. The 13th district is in San Francisco county, and in Alameda county. The 34th, and 40th districts both are in Los Angeles County alone.
