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.
'''David Bergland''' (June 4, 1935 - June 2019) was the Libertarian Party's [[1984]] candidate for president, and author of the book ''[[Libertarianism in One Lesson]]''.
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".
 
In [[1974]], Bergland ran for Attorney General of California as a Libertarian write in candidate. In 1976, he was the LP's candidate for vice president, the running mate of Roger MacBride. In [[1978]], in his run for State Senate, he was the first candidate to appear on the ballot as a Libertarian in California. In [[1980]], he ran for a position in the U.S. Senate. He was co-chairman of [[Harry Browne]]'s presidential campaign in [[1996]].
 
He served as LP National Chair from 1977 to 1981, and then again from 1998 to 2000.  He also served as Nstional Vice Chair from 1988 to 1989, and in other positions on the LNC during other terms.
