Georgia Libertarians are working to regain ballot access for the critical 2026 midterm elections, which include races for an open governor’s seat and the U.S. Senate seat held by Democrat Jon Ossoff.

Libertarians lost automatic ballot access in Georgia because of the 2024 election results in Georgia.

Chase Oliver, a member of the Libertarian Party of Georgia’s Executive Committee and the national party’s nominee for U.S. president in 2024, says one of the issues for the state party was not having Georgia Public Service Commission races on the 2024 ballot, leaving president as the only statewide race.
