Libertarian Party of Louisiana

The Libertarian Party of Louisiana (LPL) was founded in 1972. It has had ballot access in Louisiana since a law changed in 2004, allowing the LPL to become an official party in Louisiana. Since 2004, candidates have been able to run for office with "Libertarian" printed on the ballot next to their name (rather than "other" as before) and registered voters have had the option of choosing the Libertarian Party as a pre-printed choice on their voter registration forms. Since 2004, registered Libertarians are designated by LBT on their registration cards rather than OTHER which is used for non-recognized parties.

Membership

The Libertarian Party of Louisiana only gained official party status in 2004. Since then, registered voters have been able to choose the Libertarian Party as a pre-printed choice when registering to vote, instead of having to write the party name in. As of August 5th, 2012, the Party had 5,773 voters registered as Libertarian. In addition, about 120 national dues paying members reside in Louisiana. State membership dues are presently $120 per year or 12 hours of qualified volunteer time. Discounts for multi-year advanced payments are $220 for two years and $500 for five years.
