On the GOP ticket, voters can choose from among: Texas Gov. George W. Bush, Arizona Sen. John McCain, and former Ambassador Alan Keyes and Lawrence Harnung of Kansas. Steve Forbes, Gary Bauer, and Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch have dropped out of the race but remain on the preprinted ballots.

From the Democratic slate, voters can choose from among: Vice President Al Gore Jr., former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley, Lyndon LaRouche of Virginia and Pat Price of Missouri.

The Reform Party is fielding three candidates: Charles Collins of Georgia, John Hagelin of Iowa and Pat Buchanan of Virginia.
