The 2024 election season is quickly approaching. Since our last update in mid-October, additional states or territories have confirmed the election dates for 2024 statewide or presidential primaries. However, several states confirmed their candidate filing deadlines during this time.
Forty-one states, Guam, and the District of Columbia have confirmed the dates for their 2024 statewide primaries through the release of an official election calendar, enacted legislation, or candidate filing instructions. Separately, 45 states, three U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia have confirmed the date for at least one of their presidential nominating contests.
Some states schedule their presidential primaries at the same time as statewide primaries for other offices, while other states hold elections on separate dates.
