Indiana has one of the worst ballot access laws in the nation. No one has completed a statewide general election petition, either independent or unqualified party, for sixteen years. Indiana is one of only four states in which Ralph Nader never appeared on the ballot, even though he was the third-place finisher in 2000, 2004, and 2008.

Ballot access activist Craig Marolf, who lives in Indiana, has already started meeting with state legislators. If you wish to work with him, especially if you live in Indiana, contact him at constitutionalcraig@yahoo.com. It is important to be talking to state legislators now, because the Indiana legislative rules require all 2017 bills to be introduced by late December 2016.
