United Citizens Party[edit]

This party seems to be a bit of ghost when it comes to any official announcements. In the 2020 election, the party had supposedly nominated Howie Hawkins. But no information could be sourced.

I'd suggest adding a ^{[better source needed]} tag considering the past behavior, as the only source comes from West's campaign themselves and no mention elsewhere. Tipsyfishing (talk) 19:09, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cornel West: VP?[edit]

Do we have information on who Dr. Cornel West, Ph.D.'s vice presidential candidate is at the moment? I'm currently searching for one on his website (link) and so far haven't found a VP announcement Madamepestilence (talk) 04:03, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: As of April 10, 2024, Dr. Cornel West, Ph.D. selected Dr. Melina Abdullah as his Vice President for the Cornel West 2024 campaign. Special thanks to an untitled user just going by their IP address apparently for adding the new contribution. Madamepestilence (talk) 05:51, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As of mid-January 2024, West has ballot access in these states[edit]

This map needs a legend. It shows the US states in 3 colors, gray, yellow and green, but does not identify the meaning of the colors. Arthur.Goldberg (talk) 11:56, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, I'd have to agree with this. I'm not sure what Wyoming, Alabama, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Vermont, or New Hampshire are meant to represent in this map without a key.

Dr. West's page reads Alaska, Oregon, South Carolina, and Utah as having ballot access, but I don't know if he's met the requirements for the aforementioned states in the sentence above.

I'm unsure, but I believe Dr. West also failed to meet the requirements for Idaho (VP required) before the deadline expired.

I'm unsure if Hawai'i's new party forming is valid considering this was also edging the deadline, and I haven't seen what party Dr. West is allegedly creating for Hawai'i, and the only new party I'm aware of is ~~fascist~~ RFKJ's We The People Party, which I'm unsure even got accepted.

Hello! Recently, I changed the colors on the ballot access maps. Green means certified for ballot, Blue means they have petitioned for ballot qualification awaiting certification, Yellow means that any candidate can have their write-in votes counted without registration, and grey means no ballot access of any kind.

I previously only updated the legends on the primary 2024 ballot access page - I have updated this page's legend accordingly. Cheers, Longestview (talk) 00:16, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
