In the 2024 United States presidential election, different laws and procedures govern whether or not a candidate or political party is entitled to appear on voters' ballots. [1] Since election processes are decentralized by Article I, Section 4, of the United States Constitution, these laws are established and enforced by the states. [2] Additionally, there are often different requirements for primary and general elections, and requirements for primary elections may additionally differ by party.
Additionally, the filing requirements to appear on the ballot often differ between parties and independents, leading some independents such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to create a party to get on the ballot in states where the requirement is lower for party-sponsored candidates. Conversely, organizations such as No Labels and parties like the Libertarians and Greens will have their nominee petition as an independent in states where such a route is less restrictive. [3]
All maps are current as of April 4, 2024.
All dates are in the year 2024 unless otherwise stated.

The following parties are expected to run a candidate for President and Vice President, or have done so in the past.
Former Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie failed to make the Maine primary ballot, as he did not submit the required 2,000 signatures to the Secretary of State by the November 20 deadline. Christie attempted to appeal the decision, but the Maine Superior Court upheld the secretary's ruling. [66]
On November 30, 2023, the Florida Democratic Party only submitted Joe Biden's name to the secretary of state. Candidates can be placed on the ballot either by petition, or having the party submit their name to the secretary of state. [67] As his name was the only one on the ballot, the Democratic primary was cancelled under Florida law. Democratic presidential candidate Dean Phillips heavily criticized the decision, stating "Americans would expect the absence of democracy in Tehran, not Tallahassee." [68] A lawsuit attempting to place Phillips as well as Marianne Williamson and Cenk Uygur candidates was lost in district court. [69]
Tennessee secretary of state Tre Hargett only certified Joe Biden's name for the Democratic primary ballot. [70] Dean Phillips's petition to be placed on the ballot was rejected, as he did not collect enough valid signatures. [71] As voters are still able to vote for Uncommitted as well as write-in candidates, the primary still took place. [72] Joe Biden won the Tennessee primary against Uncommitted by 84 points. [73]

This was the first presidential primary to be held in Minnesota for a third party since 1916.

When Gabel asked to be removed from the ballot, after early voting had started on January 19, 2024, the Minnesota Secretary of State's office stated that changes cannot be made to the list of candidates after the list was certified 63 days prior to the election, and Gabel's name remained on ballots.

A write-in candidate is a candidate whose name does not appear on the ballot but seeks election by asking voters to cast a vote for the candidate by physically writing in the person's name on the ballot. Depending on electoral law it may be possible to win an election by winning a sufficient number of such write-in votes, which count equally as if the person were formally listed on the ballot.
