Green Caucus

Maine held a series of caucuses throughout the state between February 27 and March 19. The Maine Green Independent Party didn't compile the results until the state convention on May 7, during which it then assigned delegates based on the results.[2][3]

On March 13, 2016, it was announced that Jill Stein had won the Maine Green Independent Party Caucuses.[4]
