According to the BTP's bylaws, Article 11, section m:

On January 1st of presidential election years, notice of the party's intent to nominate candidates for the presidency and vice-presidency of the United States shall be published on the Party's web site and nominations shall be opened, to be made through the appended comments form. All candidates who are nominated by two or more Party members, who meet the qualifications of office listed in the Constitution of the United States of America, and who affirm their support for the Party's platform and their willingness to accept the Party's nomination to the presidency and/or vice-presidency of the United States, shall be considered eligible nominees, any affiliations they may have with other political parties notwithstanding. All nominations and candidate affirmations must be received prior to the opening of that year's regular convention. The Chair shall take official notice of any candidate affirmations which may be fraudulent, and shall investigate, and issue a ruling as to the legitimacy of, such affirmations. The National Committee may, by a vote of four or more members, override the Chair's ruling. It is the affirmative responsibility of the Chair and the National Committee to verify, to the greatest degree possible, the integrity of the nomination process.

This forum topic is the "official" nominating space for the BTP's presidential and vice-presidential slate. Please reserve this topic for nominations, seconds and candidate acceptances/statements of non-acceptance. Other discussions pertaining to candidates can occur in the general discussion forums.
