The Libertarian Party of Arkansas is the Arkansas affiliate of the Libertarian Party.

Ballot Access[]

Arkansas is the only state in the U.S. in which (until 2011) the Libertarian Party had never had a candidate on the ballot for any partisan office other than president [1].

The Libertarian Party of Arkansas was able to put the national presidential candidate on the ballot for much of its history but it didn't gain ballot access for state and local candidates until 2011 when the Libertarian Party of Arkansas turned in more than 16,000 signatures to the Secretary of State. Starting in 2012, the party could run Libertarian candidates in Arkansas for the first time.

On May 18, 2011, the Libertarian Party of Arkansas submitted 16,139 signatures to the Arkansas Secretary of State, Mark Martin in the hopes of becoming an official political party in Arkansas and running candidates. On June 16, 2011, the Secretary of State certified the Libertarian Party of Arkansas as an official party in the state of Arkansas for the first time in history.

On April 14, 2012, the Libertarian Party of Arkansas (LPAR) nominated candidates for the 2012 election during their state convention. The LPAR nominated candidates to run in all four Congressional districts as well as candidates in several state-wide and local races.
