Who are the 2024 Libertarian Presidential Candidates on the Nebraska Primary Ballot?

The Libertarian Party is the only party that has a slate of candidates to choose from for the 2024 Primary Election. The other parties already have presumptive nominees, so this gives Independent and Libertarian voters a great opportunity to make their voices heard during the primary election season!


While it's true that presidential candidates are chosen at the national convention by delegates, casting a primary ballot lets everyone know that you support a third party and alternate option to what the mainstream pushes on us every election cycle. Making a good showing at the polls demonstrates we're sick and tired of the status quo. Here are the candidates that you will be able to choose from on your Nebraska Libertarian and Nonpartisan Voter Ballots in alphabetical order. Candidates will appear in a random order on your actual ballot.


Charles Ballay

Ballay is a medical doctor from New Orleans, Louisiana who celebrates the rich diversity of people from across the country. From Ballay: "My campaign is about breaking barriers and carving out a space where individual potential is celebrated... Our history is a testament to the power of freedom, individuality, and resilience against oppression. It's time we revisit those ideals. I aim to change the political landscape, driven by the conviction that we can pioneer a brighter path forward by embracing our diverse strengths." Ballay is coming to Omaha May 10th.
