Announcement

 

A presidential candidate first makes an official announcement that he or she is running for president and files papers with the Federal Elections Commission, which regulates the election process.

The candidate can run independently (on their own) or be supported by a political party. The primary parties are the Democrat and Republican Parties. Other parties are called third parties. Examples of third parties are Concerns of People (Prohibition) Party, Constitution Party, Green Party, Libertarian Party, Natural Law Party, Peace & Freedom Party, Personal Choice Party, Reform Party, Socialist Party USA, and more.
