Candidates who are known to have withdrawn from the race, suspended their presidential campaign, or failed to earn their party's nomination are listed separately.

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.
