+Article IX. Candidates
+
+A. The KYP shall recruit and run a Presidential candidate in every national Presidential contest. The KYP's primary goal in the contest shall be to maintain ballot access by winning at least 2% of the popular vote in Kentucky and, when possible, to expand the vote share to 20%.
+
+a. Under current Kentucky law the presidential election is an existential issue for the KYP, and as such it is necessary for the party to approach the choice and support of the candidate with the greatest seriousness. At one and the same time it is essential to reinforce that the candidate will be selected to get votes in Kentucky, not in any other state. 
+
+1. Presidential Candidate selection:
+
+a. If there are multiple candidates for this position, the KYP shall find their candidate through the primary. If the KYP can maintain the prerequisite level of ballot access, then that primary shall be held through the Secretary of State's office and the KYP will have no direct involvement with it. Until that level of ballot access is held, the KYP will do their utmost to provide a party primary that mirrors the official one in every way, to be held on the same day and in as similar a fashion as possible.
+
+b. If there is only one candidate, the KYP shall refrain from involving themselves with the campaign until after the completion of the Kentucky primary.
+
+c. If there are no candidates, the KYP shall recruit one. If no other candidate is available at the time of the primary, a member of the EC will be required to run. This candidate will be chosen by the EC through any method they deem sufficient, including a lottery.
+
+2. After the primary is complete, the presidential candidate will enjoy the full support of the KYP.
+
+3. [determination of electors]

 A. The KYP will recruit and run a Presidential candidate in every national Presidential contest. The KYP's primary goal in the contest will be to maintain ballot access by winning at least 2% of the popular vote in Kentucky and, when possible, to expand that to 20%.
 
 Under current Kentucky law the presidential election is an existential issue for the KYP, and as such it is necessary for the party to approach the choice and support of the candidate with the greatest seriousness. At one and the same time it is essential to reinforce that the candidate will be selected to get votes in Kentucky, not in any other state.
