Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will not be able to remove his name from the ballot in Michigan or Wisconsin, both key swing states in November, according to recent decisions from local election authorities.

The Michigan secretary of state’s office said Monday minor party candidates are not able to withdraw once they have been nominated.

“So his name will remain on the ballot in the November election,” Cheri Hardmon, a spokesperson for the office, told NBC News.
