Candidates who do not belong to a registered party can use an "independent" tag or no tag.

The Conservative Party and the Labor Party have been the two major political parties and have supplied all Prime Ministers since 1922 (with the exception of Ramsay MacDonald, who was Prime Minister between 1931 and 1935 as a member of the National Labor Organization)]]> 2020-11-12 00:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/marianaherrera8/kl53xf66pm9c/wish/914646805 marianaherrera8 https://padlet.com/marianaherrera8/kl53xf66pm9c/wish/914666095 2020-11-12 00:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/marianaherrera8/kl53xf66pm9c/wish/914666095 marianaherrera8 https://padlet.com/marianaherrera8/kl53xf66pm9c/wish/914669187 2020-11-12 00:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/marianaherrera8/kl53xf66pm9c/wish/914669187 marianaherrera8 https://padlet.com/marianaherrera8/kl53xf66pm9c/wish/914698228 On the corresponding Tuesday between November 2 and 8 of each year multiple of 4 and, after almost 21 months of campaigning, American citizens are preparing to vote for their presidential candidates.

For example, if a citizen casts his ballot for the candidate of the Republican party, this person is actually ordering the "elector" of his state to vote for that candidate at the voters' meeting at the electoral college, the same in the case of Democrats.
