Talk:Ballot access in the 2024 United States presidential election

NLP, Forward, WFP
I cannot find any sources saying Forward/WFP will put forward a candidate in 2024, can they be removed?

Also, am I fine to move NLP to major party? Crazysportsdude1 (talk) 01:36, 28 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Sure. Probably shouldn't differenciate between "major third" and "smaller third" parties anyway Longestview (talk) 01:53, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Utah
On February 28, Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed SB 107, which changes the independent candidate petition deadline for all offices from January to June 15. 2601:881:8380:1E50:E427:FB41:A296:8D3F (talk) 03:19, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

PSL Florida
The Party for Socialism and Liberation for Florida is a qualified party in Florida but I have seen no news confirming that de la Cruz will be on the ballot there. Anyone know if this is a Green Party of Alaska situation or is it safe to assume they are nominating de la Cruz?

 * In order to be on the ballot for President in Florida, you have to either get a petition signed by 1% of registered voters or you have to be "registered with and recognized as a qualified national committee of a political party by the Federal Election Commission." https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2011/103.021
 * From Ballot Access News:
 * "In 2020, the Secretary of State put the Party for Socialism and Liberation on the ballot for president, even though the PSL has never been recognized as a national committee by the FEC, and even though it did not do the huge presidential petition. The only parties that have ever been recognized by the FEC as national committees are the Republican, Democratic, Libertarian, Green, Constitution, Natural Law, Reform, and Socialist Parties. The 2011 law discriminates against new parties, because the FEC will never grant "national committee" status to a new party.  Only parties that have already had a presidential nominee on the ballot in several states, and also congressional candidates on the ballot in several states, can qualify as “national committees."
 * Seems to be up to the Secretary of State, that is if they can't get enough signatures. Longestview (talk) 17:28, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Add no labels ballet access
No labels missing in graph 2A02:FE1:5190:A800:EC50:DFAA:ED6F:CB62 (talk) 09:53, 5 April 2024 (UTC)


 * No Labels is not running a candidate for President, so they are not included.

Biden is not on the ballot yet in OH, AL and WA.
All 3 states have ballot deadlines before the DNC takes place and OH and AL are refusing to put Biden on the ballots. WA will make an exemption.

This should be mentioned. Glasperlenspieler (talk) 04:07, 17 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Update: Alabama has passed legislation to allow Biden on their ballot.
 * Ohio still hasn't passed legislation to have Biden on.
 * There should be a footnote in the table, or Biden ballot access in OH should be removed for now.

Cruz / Garcia Ballot Access in California
the Cruz/Garcia ticket will have ballot access in California during the 2024 General election. They were chosen by the California Peace and Freedom Party

I believe that the chart should reflect this information (especially considering that the ticket was victorious against Cornell West in achieving the CPF nomination)

 * The P+F primary was non-binding, as its nominating convention will be held in August. As far as this page is concerned, she does not yet have ballot access in CA.. Longestview (talk) 00:24, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Ballot Access Deadline in Montana
The table says that the ballot access deadline for independents in Montana is today, but ballotpedia says it's June 3rd, 2024 (https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_access_requirements_for_presidential_candidates_in_Montana) Also I'd think at least RFK would be sending out emails like they did when there was a day left on the Texas ballot access deadline, but so far I haven't really heard any of the candidates talking about Montana ballot access... JeffTheManWithNothing (talk) 23:24, 27 May 2024 (UTC)


 * The cited source has a footnote: "Deadline to file petitions with county officials for signature verification: 5/27/2024" A week before. If there's a difference between the two, do tell. Longestview (talk) 00:21, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Jeff, it seems very odd that RFK's website lists Montana's deadline as 08/14/2024 ... is he really that off? Piratetales (talk) 19:15, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I found the statute. Electors for president and vice president are treated like any other statewide candidate. The deadline for independent statewide candidates to file is 76 days before the general election, and applying the 1-week rule noted above gives you August 14. Title 13, chapter 10, part 5, section 504. Ballotpedia seems to be using the deadline for legislative candidates, at least for Montana. Longestview (talk) 20:25, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

PSL Ballot Status Change in Pennsylvania
I am by no means knowledgeable on this subject, but this Tweet implies that de la Cruz and Garcia are fully on the ballot in Pennsylvania now, does it not? If so, should the table be changed to a green checkmark for PA now? 2601:983:200:4070:F46B:35AF:53CC:4014 (talk) 22:25, 27 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Just says they’ve been submitted, not certified by the state. Crazysportsdude1 (talk) 02:54, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

LPCO/LNC Candidate Dispute
Currently, the LPCO and LNC are arguing over who belongs on the CO libertarian ticket. The LNC appears to have filed something with the SoS while the local LPCO has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

This is an ongoing dispute afaik and not resolved.

Also, campaign volunteers managed to submit signatures to place him on the ballot as an independent aswell per https://www.kennedy24.com/_kennedy_submits_double_signatures_needed_ballot_colorado

 * Colorado doesn't allow fusion tickets, meaning the Secretary of State will approve Kennedy as an independent candidate + most likely certify Chase Oliver as the official candidate in Colorado for the Libertarian Party (because the national Libertarian Party wrote a letter to her, and their national delegate vote at the convention trumps the state party).

RFK Jr ballot access data out of date
RFK’s campaign website shows him being on the ballot in more states then this Wikipedia article does.
