Certification deadlines by state
This table lists the estimated certification dates for presidential electors in each state. Certification dates in some states were subject to change due to recounts.[6]
Primary and caucus dates
The following table and maps show the scheduled date and primary event type by state and party for the 2024 presidential election.
Changes to the 2024 Democratic primary calendar
The Democratic National Committee voted on February 4, 2023, to approve a proposal reordering the early presidential primary calendar.[10] South Carolina was selected to hold a February 3, 2024, primary, followed by New Hampshire and Nevada on February 6, Georgia on February 13, and Michigan on February 27. In 2020, the first four states to hold primaries were Iowa on February 3, New Hampshire on February 11, Nevada on February 22, then South Carolina on February 29.
In some states, the state Democratic parties were unable to change their primary dates to match the DNC's calendar. South Carolina, Nevada, and Michigan were the only states that held Democratic primaries on the dates listed in the plan. Iowa also held a compliant primary by holding a caucus to conduct party business on January 15, 2024, when the Iowa caucuses were scheduled, and holding a mail-in primary that ended on March 5. Georgia held its primary on March 12, after the early presidential primary window. New Hampshire Democrats participated in a non-compliant state-run primary on January 23, 2024. Initially, the DNC said New Hampshire would forfeit its delegates at the national convention due to the non-compliant primary date. The New Hampshire Democrats then held a small state-run primary on April 27, which the DNC found to be in compliance since it was after the early primary window and New Hampshire's delegates at the national convention were not penalized.
Candidate registration and financial disclosures
Presidential candidacy registration
- See also: Presidential candidates, 2024
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) required those running for president to register as candidates by filing a Statement of Candidacy form within 15 days of having raised or spent $5,000. This form allows a candidate's campaign committee to engage in fundraising and spend campaign funds. Within 10 days of the Statement of Candidacy submission, the Statement of Organization form needed to be submitted to the FEC.[11]
Federal campaign finance disclosures
All candidates were required to file quarterly reports, pre-election reports 12 days before the general election, and post-election reports 30 days after the general election. If the committee raised or anticipated raising or spending a total of $100,000 by the end of a calendar year, the committee needed to file monthly campaign finance reports in the following year. If the committee did not raise, spend, or anticipate raising or spending that much, they only needed to file quarterly reports to the FEC.[11]
- Quarterly reports were due April 15, July 15, October 15, and January 31.
- Monthly reports were due on the 20th of each month beginning in 2024.
- Pre-election reports were due October 24, 2024.
- Post-election reports were due December 5, 2024.

- See also: Republican National Convention, 2024
The Republican Party held its national convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from July 15-18, 2024.[26]

The national nominating convention is the formal ceremony during which the party officially selects its nominee and adopts a party platform. The delegates are individuals chosen to represent their state or territory at the convention.
The convention began two days after a shooter fired multiple shots toward the stage where Trump was speaking at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump was not seriously injured. On Truth Social, Trump said he "was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of [his] right ear."[27][28] Click here to read more about the attempted assassination.
