Are you a member of the national Libertarian Party?
Sign up to become a member here. Make sure to do this at least 90 days before your state’s convention. Many states have a 30 or 60 day eligibility deadline, but do this ASAP to be safe.

Are you a member of your state Libertarian Party?
Sign up on your state party’s website, or contact a member of your state party for details. You can find state party information here. Also make sure to check your state’s bylaws for information about becoming a delegate and contact your state chair or vice chair.

Are you attending your State and/or local LP meetings?
It is very, very important that you are active in your county or state affiliate. If you show up to your state convention looking to be a delegate and nobody knows who you are and you have not done any work for the party, it is unlikely that you will be elected as a delegate. Attend your county and party meetings, get stuff done, network with other members of the party. Make yourself a known entity. It will help you become a delegate as well as help our image as a caucus. Even more importantly, you’ll be helping the cause of liberty. Take human action.

Have you declared you are running for delegate?
Consult your state LP Bylaws and talk with your State LP Chair. You will need to attend your state convention, declare that you are running to be a delegate, and then be elected as a delegate. Make sure to visit your state party website and mark the state convention date(s) on your calendar.
