List of candidates in the United States presidential election, 2004

The following are lists of candidates in the 2004 U.S. presidential election. Candidates who were not on any state ballots, withdrew from the race, suspended their presidential campaign, or failed to earn their party's nomination are listed separately.

Party nominees

All candidates in the table below were on the ballot in multiple states. Those who were on the ballot in enough states to win a majority in the U.S. Electoral College are marked in bold. Candidates who were on the ballot in no more than one state are listed in the next section.

Presidential candidate Running mate Party
Gene Amondson Leroy Pletten Prohibition
Michael Badnarik Richard Campagna Libertarian
Walt Brown Mary Alice Herbert Socialist
George W. Bush (winner) Richard Cheney Republican
Róger Calero Arrin Hawkins Socialist Workers
David Cobb Pat LaMarche Green
Earl F. Dodge Howard Lydick Prohibition

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.

The table below shows which third-party candidates were able to gain ballot access in each State. In some States, these candidates were on the ballot as independents, or on the ballot lines of different parties (for example, in Michigan the Socialist Party USA candidate received the Natural Law Party's ballot line.)

The Socialist Workers Party's official ticket could not be listed on the ballot in some states because Calero and Hawkins were both ineligible to be President, as Calero was not a native-born citizen and Hawkins was too young. In such states the party used their 2000 ticket of James Harris and Margaret Trowe (JH).

The Prohibition Party suffered a schism in 2003. Long-time Presidential candidate Earl Dodge was the nominee of one faction, while Gene Amondson was the nominee of the other. Both factions were on the ballot in Colorado, with only Amondson on the ballot in Louisiana.
