Major party conventions

 * Presidential winner in bold.

The right-hand column shows nominations by notable conventions not shown elsewhere (as Democratic, Republican, Socialist, Socialist Labor, Prohibition, Anti-Masonic, Liberty, Free Soil, American, Constitution, Libertarian or Green). Some of the nominees (e.g. the Whigs before 1860 and Theodore Roosevelt in 1912) received very large votes, while others who received less than 1% of the total national popular vote are listed to show historical continuity or transition. Many important candidates are not shown here because they were never endorsed by a national party convention (e.g. William Henry Harrison in 1836, George C. Wallace in 1968, John B. Anderson in 1980 and Ross Perot in 1992). Note that there is no organizational continuity between the American Parties of 1856 and 1972, the Union Parties of 1860, 1864 and 1936, or the Progressive Parties of 1912-16, 1924 and 1948-52.

Prohibition and socialist parties
The Prohibition Party was organized in 1869. The Socialist Party of America (1901-1972) resulted from a merger of the Social Democratic Party (founded 1898) with dissenting members of the Socialist Labor Party (founded 1876). The Socialist Party of America stopped running its own candidates for President after 1956, but a minority of SP members who disagreed with this policy broke away in 1972-73 to form the Socialist Party USA (SPUSA).

Libertarian, Citizens', Green and Constitution Parties
In 1999, the United States Taxpayers' Party changed its name to the Constitution Party. There is no direct organizational connection between the former Citizens' Party and the Green Party.
