PoliTex lists some of the non-standard political parties that hope to put a Presidential candidate (and some others in a couple of cases) on the ballot this year. They range from the good old fashioned Socialists to the (possibly illegally-named) Donald Trump vehicle to the “centrist” flavor of the quadrennia Americans Elect. Get to know them all now while you still can, because our ballot access laws are such that most of them will vanish into obscurity faster than you can say “Harold Stassen”.

Americans Elect will be the only party to attain a successful petition submission.
