Party Chairman Frank MacKay said representatives from 27 states voted to endorse McCain, the Republican nominee and Arizona senator. None voted for Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois.
"It's a good day for reform," MacKay told The Associated Press. "Whether (McCain) wins or loses, I believe we did the right thing and it gives independents the best chance out there to elect one of our own to the White House."
MacKay said the endorsement is a badge of honor for McCain.
MacKay, also head of New York's Independence Party, says the group considers Obama to be a traditional liberal Democrat.
MacKay made the announcement from Long Island at the national convention of the party founded by supporters of billionaire Ross Perot, a third-party presidential candidate in 1992.
There was no immediate comment from the Obama campaign.
