The Prohibition Party (PRO) is a political party in the United States best known for its historic opposition to the sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages.
It is the oldest existing third party in the US.
The party is an integral part of the temperance movement.
While never one of the leading parties in the United States, it was once an important force in the Third Party System during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
It declined dramatically after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933.
The party's candidate received 518 votes in the 2012 presidential election and 5,617 votes in the 2016 presidential election.
The platform of the party is liberal in that it supports environmental stewardship and free education, but is conservative on social issues, such as supporting temperance and advocating for an anti-abortion stance.
