The Libertarian Party of New York’s 2024 petitioning drive ends May 28, 2024, which is the petitioning deadline. At least 45,000 signatures are needed in order to place the Libertarian Party’s Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates on the ballot.
Larry Sharpe is standing in as the Presidential candidate and Rich Purtell is standing in as the Vice Presidential candidate. After petitions are turned in, the stand-in candidates can withdraw, and the Committee on Vacancies can replace the stand-in candidates with the candidates nominated at the National Convention.
The petitioning portal is linked right on the lpny.org website. There, you will find the petitions and instructions. We also have a few downballot candidates and so if you live in the area, collect for those candidates as well.
Make sure you mail your petitions in! As the deadline approaches, you will need to overnight them in order for them to get there in time! Petitions will be picked up on Monday, May 27 and filed on Tuesday, May 28.
Meanwhile, the 2024 Libertarian National Convention in Washington, D.C. is upon us. New York has a full delegation representing the Libertarian Party of New York at the National Convention.
