Become a Member of the Libertarian Party of Indiana

The below is taken mostly verbatim from the web site of the Libertarian Party of Indiana:

How does one become a member of the Libertarian Party of Indiana?

1. Becoming a Supporting Member in the 1994 Society of the Libertarian Party of Indiana by donating a yearly payment of $25. Admission to LPIN events do not qualify towards a membership payment.

Or

2. Become a Sustaining Member in the 1994 Society, the LPIN's membership program.

Both of these options will make one a member of the state party, and a member of the county party of their voting residence. Membership allows a vote at all local business meetings, and makes one eligible to be a delegate to the State Convention. Non-members are prohibited from voting at any LP function, but are free to attend. Most LPIN affiliated counties require membership in the national and state parties for voting privileges. This membership lasts 366 days from the date of the last payment. The 1994 Society payment is pulled from a debit or credit card on the 26th of the month.Both of these options can be carried out at LPIN.org.

Or

3. Donate $25 a year to the Libertarian National Committee. This can be done at LP.org. A member will be granted the voting privileges outlined above, and also a monthly newsletter from the Libertarian National Committee. It also increases the voting power of Indiana at the LNC's yearly business meeting.

A member can check their status with LPIN Executive Director, Chris Spangle, at cspangle(at)lpin.org. They may also check with their County Chair.
