To gain ballot access in Indiana, a party must run a candidate for Secretary of State. For that candidate’s name to appear on the ballot, the state’s newly enacted formula requires a little over 30,000 certified signatures be submitted. (The threshold was lower prior to the Libertarian Party’s successful bid to gain ballot access in Indiana. Once the Libertarian Party gained ballot access, the number of signatures required increased AND the deadline for submitting those signatures was moved up several months to June 30th. This is critical because it eliminates opportunities for signature-gatherers to work at typical large-crowd summer events such as the state and county fairs, park festivals and, of course, 4th of July parades).
