The Libertarian Party of Kansas (LPKS) is the Kansas affiliate of the Libertarian Party. The LPKS earned full ballot access in 1992 as a minor party, with Libertarian candidates appearing on every statewide general election ballot since then.
Since 2010 the party has pursued major party status which would give them the same primary ballot access enjoyed by the Republican and Democratic parties. To achieve major party status, their candidate for Governor of Kansas, needs to receive 5% or more of the statewide vote in the general election, but failed to do so in past elections.
The Libertarian Party of Kansas has advocated for protection of the 2nd amendment.
