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

Those who were on the ballot in enough states to win a majority in the U.S. Electoral College are marked in bold.

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
Charles Jay	Marilyn Chambers	Personal Choice
John Kerry	John Edwards	Democratic
Ralph Nader	Peter Camejo	Independent, Reform
John Parker	Teresa Gutierrez	Workers World
Leonard Peltier	Janice Jordan	Peace and Freedom
Michael Peroutka	Chuck Baldwin	Constitution
Bill Van Auken	Jim Lawrence	Socialist Equality

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 ran in two different slates. Their official slate of Calero/Hawkins were ineligible to be President, as Calero is not a native-born citizen and Hawkins is too young to be president; in some states the party attempted to use their 2000 slate of James Harris/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.

Jay only had access in Utah and Peltier was only on the ballot in California.
