Perennial candidate

A perennial candidate is a political candidate who runs for elected office many times and rarely, if ever, win and election. 

Perennial candidates are seen where there is no limit on how many times a person can run for office or costs little to register as a candidate.

Some have called a candidate a "perennial candidate" for elected office when they have lost two to three times, and then decide to run a campaign again. However, some articles have listed a number of exceptions.
