Since 2010 the party has pursued major party status which would give them the same primary ballot access enjoyed by the Republican and Democratic parties. To achieve major party status, their candidate for Governor of Kansas, needs to receive 5% or more of the statewide vote in the general election,^[7] but failed to do so^[8] in past elections.

The Libertarian Party of Kansas has advocated for protection of the 2nd amendment.^[9]
