The next Presidential election will be on Tuesday, November 6, 2012. President Barack Obama, the incumbent, has announced that he will seek the nomination to be the Democratic Party’s candidate in this election. With the midterm elections over, politicians with ambition have begun to formally express their desire for the presidency in the form of exploratory committees which will allow the hopeful to raise money and travel without having to follow certain financial restrictions mandated by federal law. The following are people who have either formally announced that they are running for president in 2012 and/or have filed as a candidate with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), or have formed an exploratory committee for a possible presidential run in 2012.
A complete list of candidates that have filed with the FEC can be found here. All of these have filed a Statement of Candidacy (FEC Form 2) with the FEC to register as a 2012 presidential candidate.
