Ballot Access News has a neat chart showing where the various third-party presidential candidates have made it onto the ballot. As the chart makes clear, the rules for getting on the ballot vary dramatically from state to state.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
