The Independent Party of Louisiana is a third party in the U.S. state of Louisiana which became ballot-qualified in December 2016. It is the third largest political party in Louisiana, behind the Democratic and Republican parties, with more than 130,000 registrants as of 2023.[1] In 2014, the legislature repealed a law preventing political parties with the word "Independent" in the name from becoming ballot-qualified.[2] It is not affiliated with any other third or independent party in the United States.[3]
