Green Party
The Green Party has a two-stage process to determine its party list: an initial list determined by attendees of the annual Green Party conference and then a vote and ordering by members of the party to either uphold the list or generate a different list voted on by the party. The initial list was published on 12 March 2026.[2][3]
