The Libertarian National Convention is held every two years by the United States Libertarian Party to choose members of the Libertarian National Committee, and to conduct other party business. In presidential election years, the convention delegates enact a platform and nominate the Libertarian presidential and vice-presidential candidates who then face the nominees of other parties in the November general election.
While most delegates to the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention are tied to particular candidates, delegates to the Libertarian National Convention are free to choose, as was previously the case for the larger parties. Accordingly, Libertarian National Conventions place less emphasis on festivities and spinning the press, though some of each may be found. The complete convention is televised by C-SPAN with additional broadcast television coverage of the presidential nominating process. Perhaps the most interesting difference between Libertarian National Conventions and those of the Republican and Democratic parties in the United States is that the Libertarian Party has not and refuses to accept taxpayer money to pay for its convention.[citation needed] This is in keeping with Libertarian principles that taxation is coerced (i.e. not voluntary) and, therefore, theft; it is considered an "ethical violation" for a good Libertarian who adheres to the Non-Aggression Principle to knowingly commit theft.[citation needed] None of the above is always an option on all ballots.

1972 [edit]
The first Libertarian National Convention was held in 1972 in Denver, Colorado. John Hospers and Theodora Nathan were nominated presidential and vice presidential candidates respectively. They received the first electoral vote won by a woman, cast by Roger MacBride.
1974 [edit]
The 1974 Libertarian National Convention adopted the Dallas Accord which sought to accommodate supporters of both anarcho-capitalism and minarchism.[1][2][3]
1980 [edit]
The 1980 convention nominated Ed Clark for president and billionaire David H. Koch for vice president.
1983 [edit]
David Bergland was selected as the 1984 presidential nominee at the 1983 national convention.[4]
1987 [edit]
The 1987 Libertarian national convention was held the first weekend in September in Seattle, Washington. At the convention, the party was split between conservative and liberal factions.[5] Ron Paul, representing the former, was nominated as the Libertarian Party's 1988 presidential candidate on the first ballot with 196 of the 368 votes cast. His closest opponent, Native American activist Russell Means, received 120 votes.[6] Andre Marrou was selected as Paul's running mate as the candidate for Vice President without any opposition.[6]
1991 [edit]
The 1991 Libertarian National Convention was held the last weekend in August, and nominated Andre Marrou as the party's 1992 candidate for president.[7][8]
1996 [edit]
The 1996 Libertarian National Convention was held the first weekend of July in Washington D.C. and nominated Harry Browne as its presidential candidate.[9]
2000 [edit]
The 2000 Libertarian National Convention was held in Anaheim, California, from June 30 to July 4. Harry Browne was again chosen as the party's presidential candidate, becoming the first Libertarian Party candidate to run twice for President of the United States.[10]
2002 [edit]
The 2002 Libertarian National Convention was held in Indianapolis, Indiana, from July 3 to 7.[11]
2004 [edit]
The 2004 Libertarian National Convention was held at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia Memorial Day weekend, May 27 to May 31. Michael Badnarik was chosen as the party's presidential candidate, beating out Gary Nolan and Aaron Russo on the third ballot; Richard Campagna was chosen as the party's vice-presidential candidate over Tamara Millay, and Michael Dixon was elected chair of the Libertarian National Committee.
2006 [edit]
The 2006 Libertarian National Convention was held at the Hilton Portland & Executive Tower in Portland, Oregon, July 1–2.[12] Delegates chose (in a "retain or delete" vote process) to eliminate about three quarters of the specific planks in the party's platform[13] and to essentially overturn the Dallas Accord by inserting statements in the platform recognizing the legitimacy of government's role in protecting rights. This turn of events was referred to as the "Portland Massacre."[14]

- Michael Badnarik, candidate for U.S. House of Representatives (TX-10) and the 2004 Libertarian Presidential candidate
