Presidential and vice presidential nominations
Candidates seeking to win the Libertarian Party nominations either for president or vice president must gather thirty "tokens", or supporting delegates, and their votes in order to be put onto the actual nominating ballot. However, that still does not prevent write-in votes when the balloting is being held.

1996
Note: Jo Jorgensen was nominated by a voice vote.

2004
Note: Jim Burns withdrew himself from consideration four hours before the balloting for the presidential nomination began.

House of Representatives
In April 2020, Representative Justin Amash from Michigan's 3rd congressional district became the first Libertarian member of Congress, after switching from the Republican Party and spending time as an independent. However, Amash has never been elected as a Libertarian, and did not seek re-election in 2020.
