Tracking Ron Paul ballot access for each state

Indiana says Ballot registration isnt until Jan 11th.
http://www.in.gov/sos/elections/2395.htm

The declaration of candidacy must be accompanied by a certified petition of nomination signed by at least 4,500 registered voters of the state, including at least 500 registered voters from each of Indiana’s 9 congressional districts.

Confirming (as some others have posted) that Illinois is good on signatures in all counties, and will be filed on time.
 
Please update Indiana the deadline is wrong it is January 31 not the Feb date you have
 
Montana chooses delegates at the State Convention (with a non-binding primary thrown in in June just for extra fun or attention). The non-binding, basically meaningless straw-poll will quite likely be all the MSM reports on and uses to determine the color to fill in Montana on their map, as shown here http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2012/calendar.html where CNN lists Montana's primary as if it were an actual primary like the ones in South Dakota, California, etc. also happening on June 5th, and completely fails to mention at all the actual event where delegates are chosen: the state convention June 14th-16th.

So, for the real and actual delegate selection process there appear to be no qualifications nor requirements whatsoever for a Presidential candidate.

For the staged show-primary, the qualifications are as follows:

*In order to qualify for the presidential primary ballot, partisan candidates
must submit a declaration and oath. Additionally, candidates not eligible
under the Presidential Primary Matching Payment Account Act must be
nominated on petitions with the verified signatures of at least 500 qualified
electors.

I don't know if Paul qualifies for matching funds (of course he'd refuse them if he did). Anyway, worst-case scenario 500 signatures are required. No mention of a deadline.

I just spoke with Alan Miller, elections specialist at the Montana Secretary of State's office. It sounds like Ron would actually have to sign up to get matching funds with the FEC, which is not going to happen, so we will need to get 500 signatures. These signatures can be started to be collected immediately! The candidate Oath and declaration can't be turned in before Jan 12th, but the signatures can be collected before then. So basically, we need to get all these 500 signatures collected (probably more like 1000 would be better) and then when the official campaign files their paperwork we can file all the signatures too and be good to go with three months to spare in case any signatures are thrown out!

The actual deadline for the 500 signatures is March 5th, by the way, not 12th.

All info is on the web site, see here:

and here:

The form all you Montanan signature-gatherers will need to print out is right here:

Get on it!
