Founded in 1971, the Libertarian Party of Illinois (LP Illinois) is committed to advancing libertarian ideas and electing Libertarians to public office across the state. As the official Illinois affiliate of the national Libertarian Party, we promote policies rooted in individual freedom, personal responsibility, and limited government.
LP Illinois is a grassroots organization powered entirely by volunteers—dedicated individuals who contribute their time, talents, and resources to bring the benefits of liberty to their families and communities. Our Board of Directors and local leaders serve without pay, driven by a shared vision of a freer, more prosperous Illinois.
We are proud to support a growing network of affiliate chapters throughout the state. These local chapters are the heart of our movement, organizing events, supporting candidates, and engaging with their communities. Find your local chapter here.
The torch of liberty continues to shine thanks to the tireless efforts of Libertarian leaders and the generous support of people like you. Together, we are building a future where all Illinoisans can live freely, peacefully, and prosperously.
