Libertarian Party of Ohio - Minor Party Petition
We need your help to keep the Libertarian Party on the ballot in Ohio.
What is “ballot access”?
Ballot access is the set of rules that determine how candidates and parties qualify to appear on election ballots. Strict rules can limit voter choice by making it harder for challenger parties and independents to run.
In Ohio, a challenger party must collect 1% of voter signatures that participated in the most recent election for US President or state Governor. Once the Secretary of State recognizes the petitions as valid the challenger party can run candidates for US President and state Governor to earn 3% of the vote to retain access for four years.
Having ballot access also enables a party to hold a primary, simplifies getting candidates on the ballot and provides greater recognition for legislative initiatives.
Even with minor party status the Ohio Assembly could change the law at any time. Pledging to support minor party ballot access helps assure our candidates and donors that we will continue regardless of the whims of the assembly.
