The Green Party of Colorado (GPCO) is the affiliate of the Green Party of the United States for the state of Colorado.
The Green Party of Colorado first attempted to qualify for statewide ballot status in 1994. While the party was unsuccessful in gaining ballot access, the party did qualify for Qualified Political Organization status. This made it possible to register as a Green in Colorado.
The Green Party of Colorado qualified for statewide ballot status in July 1998 and has retained its ballot status ever since.[3]
In 2000 the Green Party of Colorado hosted the 2000 national convention of the Green Party of the United States in Denver.
