Before voters go to the polls in a General Election to elect the next president of the United States, they are given the opportunity to assist the major political parties in deciding who will be their nominated candidate via primary election or caucus.
Choosing the best candidate to be the nominee of the party is considered the first step to winning an election. It’s crucial to get this right, which is why primary elections are vitally important.
The upcoming 2024 primary election season is on the horizon. We’ve prepared a sneak preview chart of primary and caucus dates for all states and territories! Keep in mind, primary dates can shift, so you should check back for updates.
Before going out to the polls on Primary Election Day, be sure to remember these items:
- Review your state’s election dates and deadlines for submitting registration and ballot requests.
- Check your voter registration status.
- Consider your state voting guidelines, including ID requirements.
- Request your primary absentee ballot or find your state’s vote-by-mail options.
