The Ohio Libertarian Party nominee for Governor is polling 3.3%, and 89% of the vote has been counted. Ohio requires a vote of 3% for Governor (in midterm years) and 3% for President (in presidential years) for a party to retain qualified status. This is the first time the Libertarian Party has met the Ohio vote test. Gary Johnson got 3.17% in Ohio in 2016, but he was on as an independent so his vote didn’t count toward party status.
The United Kansas Party, in its first election, has polled 4% for Secretary of State, so it will remain on the ballot for the 2028 election. It just needed 1%.
The Libertarian Party easily retained its qualified status, polling 5% for Treasurer.
Utah voters have defeated Amendment B, which would have required that initiatives dealing with taxes can’t pass unless they receive 60% of the popular vote.
Idaho voters have defeated Idaho HJR 4, which would have amended the state Constitution to say that the initiative process could not be used to pass laws relating to marijuana.
Missoouri voters have passed Amendment Six, which makes it extremely difficult for the legislature to repeal laws that were created by the initiative process.
