The ballot access rules are different in each state. Generally, the requirements are that you must get some percentage in a statewide vote, have a minimum number of members (registered voters) affiliated with your party, or collect some number of signatures (usually a percentage of total registered or total votes in a previous election).

D's and R's generally nominate by primary and/or caucus which MAY require some campaigning, but usually no signature gathering.
