How We Get
this Party Started

Thanks for being willing to help us get 25,000 actual signatures (not online) from Kansans who are registered voters, so we can become a party.  It’s easy to do and we have found people to be excited about what we are doing.

STEP ONE

Print the signature sheets PDF.

Note: Every signature on a sheet must be from the same county. It’s fine to have a sheet with just one signature! Just keep the counties separate.

A petition form titled 'Petition to Establish Official Party Recognition' for the Kansas Free State Party, with sections for signatures and personal information.
Petition form titled 'Petition to Establish Official Party Recognition' with spaces for signatures, printed name, address, city, and date, including instructions for signing.

STEP TWO

Read the one page Petition Guide that summarizes all you need to know about gathering signatures.

Petition Guide cover page with green and gold text, titled 'Petition Guide: The way to start a party,' includes checklist items and the Free State logo, with the tagline 'A New Party for the Center'.

STEP THREE

Gather signatures + have fun while you do it! Check out these talking points to inform folks about what we are doing.

If you’re asked questions you don’t know the answer to, direct them to our website for our philosophy, principles, and platform, or give them our email info@joinfreestate.org

“Help us start a new moderate party in Kansas focused on flipping five Kansas House seats where no one even challenges. Do that and we break the current Republican super majority.”

“Signing doesn’t make you a member of Free State or have to vote for Free State. It means you think Kansans should have a moderate choice to choose from in the general election.”

STEP FOUR

Have each signature sheet notarized and return the original hard copies to us.

Hand them in at a gathering
or mail them to:

Free State Party
PO Box 1022
Lawrence, KS 66044

On the back of the petition page a notary must notarize your affidavit stating you witnessed the signing of the petition by each person. If you have ten sheets (bless you) of signers from the same county, you only have to have one affidavit for all pages (keep them together). If you have a sheet with a person from another county, you will have to sign the affidavit on the back of that sheet. If you need help finding a notary, let us know. Often libraries and banks are good places to check.
