The Libertarian Partys candidate for governor wont be on the November general election ballot.

Secretary of State Al Jaeger asked for an attorney generals opinion on the matter on June 25. The opinion was released on Thursday. Libertarian Party candidate Roland Riemers appeared on the June 12 primary ballot without a running mate. Although Riemers had earned enough votes to qualify for the November election, the states constitution requires the governor and lieutenant governor to be elected jointly on the ballot.

The opinion is very thorough in terms of making its conclusion. We needed the confirmation, Jaeger said.

The problem occurred because of incomplete paperwork filed by his Riemers running mate, Richard Ames. Jaeger said one page of Ames paperwork was incomplete when it arrived at the secretary of states office. Ames was unable to complete the paperwork before 4 p.m. on April 13, the deadline before the primary.

With the attorney generals opinion, only the Republican and Democratic-NPL Party tickets for governor will be on the November ballot.
