Libertarian Party of Maryland

Ballot access, or the ability to run candidates, is mission critical for a political party.  We currently have ballot access until December 31, 2010.  To maintain ballot access we must have 35,000* people registered Libertarian by that date.

*35,000 = (1% of the electorate as specified in the law plus a little wiggle room).

If you want to help, please:
  • register Libertarian;
  • register others Libertarian; and
  • contribute otherwise.
Your rapid and dutiful assistance with ballot access - helping to pay off the "ballot access tax" permanently by 2014 - will ensure that parallel efforts in building the infrastructure to support successful campaigns and attracting, recruiting and training quality candidates can have our full attention from 2011 to 2014 and beyond.
The dedicated activist will want to get registration forms, registration handouts and membership/information forms (you'll find all of these on this page), be equipped with a good pair of shoes, a water bottle, weather appropriate clothing plus sunscreen if needed.  Ask people to register Libertarian to help you out for ballot access.  After they register give them the handout.  If you get someone really interested, have them fill out the membership/information form, too. 

Registration

Please download the voter registration application and register Libertarian.  Return it to the address below.  If you are willing to register others, you should contact your local election board and take the Voter Registration Volunteer training or get involved with your local county or campus organization for training and to locate outreach events where you can register others. 

Regardless, you should ask your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers to register Libertarian "to help keep a third party on the ballot."  You can give out this registration handout to people you register, which explains how we will use their information. 

It is vitally important that with any registration you get that you:
  1. ask them to write "more info" or "reg only" on the top, and
  2. send it to the address below - NOT to the local Board of Elections.
If they write "more info" we will send them mailings to join, volunteer etc.  If they write "reg only" for registration only, we will at most (and maybe not even then) send them a letter before every primary letting them know how they can participate in the convention(s) to select Libertarian Party candidates.  As we purchase voter registration lists and solicit to them, it is important to track the "reg only" folks so that we do not mail to them inappropriately when they show up as new registrants. 

Join/Contribute Otherwise

Please join the Libertarian Party of Maryland.  You can also indicate your volunteer and political interests and contribute for ballot access using the form below.  Please ask others with an interest to join while you are petitioning and registering people. Additionally, you can volunteer for support tasks:  validating petitions, helping with mailings, transportation, hosting out-of-state petitioners - maybe you want to take on volunteer coordination?
