The Arizona Libertarian Party will be conducting an online presidential preference election in 2008. The election, featuring twelve candidates (plus a "none of the above" option), will be counted under an instant runoff voting (IRV) system. IRV allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference and requires the winning candidate to receive a majority of votes.

This election represents the first statewide major party primary using instant runoff voting and using no tax payer money. The Arizona Libertarian Party saved the state's taxpayers $1,000,000 by not participating in the state run Arizona Presidential Preference Primary. In Arizona the Libertarian Party has major party ballot status and thus is automatically on every ballot.
