List of candidates in the 2004 United States presidential election

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 165.247.172.142 (talk) at 03:37, 8 October 2004 (→Ballot access). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The following is an incomplete list of Candidates in the U.S. presidential election, 2004. Those who are expected to be on the ballot in enough states to theoretically win a majority in the Electoral College are marked in bold. Candidiates who are known to be appearing on at least two states' ballots are marked in italic. Candidates who are known to have withdrawn from the race, suspended their presidential campaign, or failed to earn their party's nomination are listed separately.

Party Nominees

The American Party failed to gain ballot access this election, but is running a write-in campaign. The party has achieved ballot access in past elections.

The Prohibition Party suffered a schism in 2003. Long-time Presidential Candidate Earl Dodge is the nominee of one faction, while Gene Amondson is the nominee of the other. Both factions are on the ballot in Colorado, with only Amondson on the ballot on the other state, Louisiana, that the party is on the ballot.

The Socialist Workers Party is running two different slates. Their official slate of Calero/Hawkins are both ineligible to be President, so in some states the party is using their 2000 slate of Harris/Trowe.

Ballot access

The two major parties in the United States are the Democratic and the Republican parties which are on the ballot in all fifty States and the District of Columbia.

Listed below are states in which the presidential candidates of third parties that have gained ballot access in more than one state. In some states, these candidates have achieved placement on the ballot as independent candidates, or the state affiliate of the national party is known under a different name. The filing deadline has now passed in all states, but the ballot status of some candidates in some states is under court challenge so that it is possible that the list will change. Nader's candidacy is the one most affected with court challenges (both to place and remove him from the ballot) and it is possible that he could end up being unable to theoretically reach the 270 electoral votes needed to win.
