Why you won’t see Libertarians on your primary ballot

Per Indiana law, a political party must get a minimum of 10 percent in the Secretary of State’s race to participate in the general primaries. We must get at least 2 percent to maintain ballot access — which we have done every year since 1994. So, voting Libertarian for Secretary of State is a vote to continue giving Hoosier voters more choices. This year our Secretary of State candidate if Jeff Maurer. He’s running to ensure our elections are safe and secure. He wants you to get a receipt with your vote so you can verify your vote counted the way you intended.

Our candidates are selected by delegates at convention, at no cost to taxpayers. For county and local races, we are officially nominated at county conventions. For example, Kristin Alexander has already received the Libertarian nomination to run for Madison Township board in this year’s election from the Libertarian Party of Morgan County. Other higher-level candidates were selected by delegates at our state convention on March 5^th, like James Sceniak for U.S. Senate.

Do not be dissuaded by the taxpayer funded primary process. Libertarians will be on your ballot in November, and Hoosiers will have principled options as a result.
