Since no candidate obtained the required absolute majority of the delegate votes in the first ballot, a second ballot followed. Kevin McCormick was the last of the nominated candidates and was therefore not re-nominated for the second round of voting. In the second ballot he still received a vote through a write-in, with a name being written in an empty field on the ballot paper.
In the second ballot, Gary Johnson was elected as the party's presidential candidate for the 2016 election.
Election for Vice-Presidential Candidate of the Libertarian Party 2016
First ballot
Prior to the vice presidential election, Marc Allan Feldman recommended Gary Johnson’s vice presidential candidate, Bill Weld. Austin Petersen proposed that Alicia Dearn be elected, and John McAfee's vice-presidential candidate Judd Weiss withdrew her nomination after McAfee's defeat, advising that William Colley, Darryl Perry's vice-presidential candidate, be elected. McAfee himself recommended voting for Derrick Grayson, who had not run for either the presidential or vice-presidential nomination before the convention.
No candidate achieved an absolute majority in the first ballot, so there was a second ballot. After Dearn was eliminated as the worst nominee in the first round, she recommended voting for Weld.
Second ballot
Coley and Grayson withdrew their candidacy and advised to vote for Sharpe, but since Grayson did not step down until the electoral lists had already been handed out, their names stayed on them.
