Hello RI Libertarians, 

There seems to be a little confusion regarding running for office (as a Libertarian) in Rhode Island that I’d like to clear-up. 

Although the Libertarian party of RI is not a state recognized party (yet) you can still run for office as a Libertarian.  

It’s actually fairly easy: When you fill out the DECLARATION OF CANDIDACY form, under FILING DECLARATION AS check off OTHER (do not check off Independent) and write in: LIBERTARIAN PARTY.
