This article lists third-party and independent candidates, also jointly known as minor candidates, associated with the 2020 United States presidential election.
"Third party" is a term commonly used in the United States in reference to political parties other than the Democratic and Republican parties. An independent candidate is one not affiliated with any political party.
The list of candidates whose names were printed on the ballot or who were accepted as write-in candidates varied by state. More than a hundred candidates were on the ballot or formally registered as write-in candidates in at least one state. [1]
All minor candidates combined received less than 2% of the national votes. [2]
