Libertarian Party of Arkansas

The Libertarian Party of Arkansas (LPAR) is the Arkansas affiliate of the national Libertarian Party (LP).

In the 2010s the party saw increased support in federal races due to a lack of Democratic candidates contesting those races.

In 2002 members of the party petitioned to place Amendment 3, a ballot initiative that would have eliminated taxes on food and medicine, but it was overwhelming rejected by 61% to 39%.
