Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has qualified for Vermont’s presidential ballot, the state’s director of elections confirmed to CNN on Wednesday. 

Last week, Kennedy’s campaign submitted 2,000 signatures to Vermont’s elections office, doubling the 1,000 signatures needed to gain ballot access in the state. 

Sean Sheehan, director of elections for the Vermont Secretary of State, told CNN Kennedy’s ballot petition has been verified and he will appear on the state’s ballot in November.

Including Vermont, Kennedy has qualified for the ballot in 14 states, along with Michigan, North Carolina, Colorado, New Mexico, Tennessee, Minnesota, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Delaware, California, Nebraska, Hawaii and Utah. 

Kennedy is eligible to receive 158 electoral college votes.
