1996: The Green Party of Connecticut qualified for ballot status for presidential elections only in November 1996.

In Connecticut, ballot status is achieved office by office, for any party receiving 1% or more in a race for each office. In the next electoral cycle, if a candidate from the same party runs for the same office, the candidate is automatically on the ballot without having to petition for the ballot line. (If a party receives at least 20% for Governor or has 20% of the partisan registration total, it qualifies for all races).
