On August 1, the Arkansas Libertarian Party asked Arkansas Secretary of State Mark Martin to put four of its nominees for the legislature on the November ballot. They are the four candidates nominated by the party’s second nominating convention, held in February 2016. The party had also nominated many candidates at its first nominating convention in October 2015.

The party recently won a lawsuit against the 2015 law that said the party had to nominate all its candidates at least a year before the election. But the judge who ruled the law unconstitutional declined to put the candidates nominated in the second convention on the ballot.
