Under California law, citizens may indicate their affiliation with a political party when they register to vote.  Voter registration forms include a set of check boxes for "qualified" parties, as well as a space for writing in the name of a non-qualified party.
Voters also have the option of not indicating an affiliation. The terminology for this unaffiliated status has varied, with "Decline to State" having been used for much of the time since the LP has been active, but the current term is "No Party Preference".
 
The specific implications of being a "qualified" party have varied over time as the system used for primary elections has changed. The [[Libertarian Party of California]] has been a qualified party since 1980, and the LP is often described as having "ballot access" in California, but this does not have the same meaning as in some other states.  Except with respect to presidential elections, where qualified party status enables the LPC to place the LP's nominee on the November ballot, the LPC does not have the power to place any candidate on the ballot in either the primary or the general election. Under the current system, for all other offices for which a party label is allowed on the ballot, all candidates of any party, as well as candidates who want to run without a party label, must individually pay a substantial filing fee or circulate a petition with a significant number of signatures before their name appears on the ballot, and these requirements are the same regardless of party.  Also, party status plays no role in elections at the county and lower levels -- all such elections in California are "non-partisan".
