Libertarian Party of Illinois mission is: To elect Libertarians to office and move public policy in a libertarian direction.[1]
Key tenets of the Libertarian Party platform include the following:[2]
As of January 17, 2024, the party has established party status in Cook, McLean, and Tazewell counties.[4][a]
After the 1994 general election, the Libertarian Party achieved established party status for statewide offices in Illinois. This occurred after its candidates for the then-elected University of Illinois Board of Trustees cumulatively received 5.5% of all votes cast.[7] After the party's success in the 1998 election for Ford County Sheriff and other countywide offices, it achieved established party status. Due to its second place showing over the then-dormant Democratic Party in that election, the Libertarians received the minority party's seat on the Board of Review and one of the five seats on the Sheriff's Merit Commission.[8] This status was lost by 2002 after the Libertarian Party failed to field any candidates in the 2002 general election.[9]
