Welcome to the OFFICIAL online home of Ballot Access News,
a non-partisan newsletter reporting on the trials and tribulations of
folks trying to put candidates on the ballot in the United States of
America. There are many surprisingly restrictive ballot access laws in this
country, which the average voter has no knowledge or conception of; part of
our purpose here (besides reporting on progress made) is to report on these
restrictive ballot access laws so that more people are aware of them. I hope
you find these materials interesting and exciting; if you do, you can support
the newsletter by subscribing!
Ballot Access News is edited and published by Richard
Winger, the nation's leading expert on ballot access legal issues.
Notes: (1) Issues are posted here approximately two to three weeks after.
their cover date. (2) While this site began life in October 1994, we are
starting to have some older issues available -- but we make no promises of
completeness, as not all old issues were saved in electronic form. (3) This

Other information:
- Here's how to subscribe to Ballot Access News!
- Here's information on Presidential Ballot Access
as well as the vote totals of recent Presidential elections.
- Here are some other sites which may also be of interest:
- Third Party Central
- Collects lots of good information and links relating to various
third parties into one convenient location. Nice set of writings on
why one should vote third-party.
- America's Open Debates Foundation
- A national foundation committed to networking existing "free election"
organizations, every legitimate national party, ballot access and election
reform movements into one cooperative, unified and powerful voice to bring
about fair and open debates featuring all candidates on sufficient ballots to
win the election.
Web-White-and-Blue
- An interesting collaboration of political information, news, and
opinion sites that appears to be non-partisan enough to not only admit
that third parties exist but to actually provide some information about
them. Mostly focused on the current (1998) election season.
