	Ballot access - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ballot access rules regulate the conditions under which a candidate or political party is entitled to appear on voters' ballots.
		Proponents of more open ballot access argue that restricting access to the ballot has the effect of unjustly restricting the choices available to the voters and typically disadvantages third party candidates and other candidates who are not affiliated with the established parties.
		International agreements that have the status of treaties of the U.S. are part of the supreme law of the land, under Article VI of the United States Constitution.

	LP News Dec94 - Ballot access: LP position good for 50 in 1996
		The Libertarian Party is assured ballot status for 1996 in "22 states, which is a record for us," said Richard Winger, nationally recognized ballot access expert and editor of Ballot Access News.
		The total needed for ballot status is 5 percent in any statewide race, which gives the party ballot status for statewide offices only.
		Major-party status means that the LP has legal status equal to that of the Democratic and Republican parties.

		Ballot status The decision by some state Green parties to seek ballot status has made the major difference in the Green Party as a credible third party for voters in the United States.
		In states where it has ballot status the Green Party has changed from a mainly propaganda group to a recognized electoral party that is involved in supporting and organizing street protests as well as running candidates for office.
		A ballot status party has credibility, its party name appears on the ballot, and it has the ability to run for hundreds if not thousands of seats in every election, in its own name.

		Yet minor parties in Pennsylvania, unlike Connecticut, are not awarded either a primary election ballot line or an automatic general election ballot line in the next election - they still must petition and collect over 30,000 signatures of registered voters to participate in the general election in a statewide election.
		The Court then went on to cite that nine candidates over the past four years had achieved major party status, that sixty candidacies had achieved minor party status through elections, and that 969 candidates had attained ballot status for the general election.
		Those few parties that have achieved "minor party" status over the past years still do not enjoy any type of parity with the major parties and are still forced to file inordinate numbers of petition signatures to qualify for a general election ballot spot.

		In Hawai'i in 1992, the qualification criteria for statewide ballot status was to gather a number of petition signers equal to 1% of the number of registered voters in the state.
		His 2.9% was not sufficient to surpass the 10% needed for the Hawai'i Green Party to retain its ballot status.
		On this basis, the Greens were denied ballot status after the November 1996 elections, because they did not retain ballot status by receiving 10% or more in a statewide race.

	Rachel for Assembly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Because the Green Party lost ballot status in New York in 2002 when our gubernatorial candidate failed to get 50,000 votes, Green Party candidates were required to collect signatures this year under the rules for independent nominating petitions.
		For example, the minimum number of signatures required for a state assembly candidate if the candidate’s party does not have ballot status is 1,500 or 5% of the registered voters in the district who voted in the last gubernatorial election, whichever is less.
		But if the candidate’s party has ballot status, the minimum number of signatures required is 500 or 5% of the voters in the district enrolled in the party, whichever is less.
