Notes

↑ Alaska, Louisiana, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming, and all of the territories of the United States have inactive Green Parties, as such, they are either ineligible or unable to send delegates to the Green National Convention
↑ In the below table, blank cells indicate the candidate was not a ballot option or approved write-in candidate. Shaded cells indicate candidates that are not officially recognized by the Green Party.
↑ The number of delegates apportioned is calculated by the percentage of votes received. Votes not cast for a “surviving candidate” or a candidate that received less than 14% of total votes cast, become uncommitted. As a result a single delegate was awarded to uncommitted.
↑ The Green Party of Rhode Island announced they will not be placing any candidates on their ballot line in the 2020 Presidential Election. The party will also only send no-preference observers to the Green National Convention.
↑ No candidates were on the DC Statehood Green Party Presidential Primary ballot, only a Write-In option was available, and Howie Hawkins was the only certified write in candidate.
↑ This primary election was held through ranked choice voting, the following are the results of the final round in which delegates were allocated.
