2016 United States presidential election

The next election for President of the United States of America is expected to take place on November 8, 2016. Voters will select electors who will in turn nominate a candidate for the office. As the presidency is limited to two terms, the incumbent, Barack Obama, is not eligible to serve again.

Throughout 2015 and into 2016, several potential candidates sought selection for the official nomination from their own political party. As of May 2016, Donald Trump is the only remaining candidate for the Republican nomination; Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are still competing for the Democrat one. The Republican contest was more split than the Democrat race, until Ted Cruz and John Kasich withdrew in May, following Marco Rubio in March.
