Personal Choice Party

The Personal Choice Party dates back to approximately 1997, and was organized by Dr. Ken Larsen, an ex-Mormon from Utah with a Ph.D. in Zoology from Brigham Young University.

and demands that, "as long as I am not hurting anyone else, only I have the right to choose how I spend my time, my wealth, my life, my honor."

Its most notable candidate, Roger Ira Price, who ran for the United States Senate in 2006, received 1.6% of the vote.

Some controversy was caused when it was alleged that some voters were confused by the party's positive name, including its smiley-face logo, which appeared on voting machines which, in Utah, give the option for voters to vote for all candidates in one political party at the same time.

The party received 14% of the single-party votes in Salt Lake County, which some believe was caused by this confusion.
