The North Dakota Libertarian Party has completed its petition for party status in the 2014 election, and plans to submit it on July 25. As far as is known, this is the first time any newly-qualifying political party has completed any petition for statewide status in any state for the 2014 election.

No party, other than the Democratic and Republican Parties, has managed to poll enough votes to remain ballot-qualified in North Dakota since the Reform Party met the vote test in 1996. If the Libertarian Party gets 5% for either Secretary of State or Attorney General in 2014, then it will also be qualified in 2016.
