RUNOFFS​

  • Primary runoffs between the top two vote-getters may take place in some states if no candidate receives over a certain threshold of the vote in the primary:
    • 30% in North Carolina (only if requested by the runner-up)
    • 35% in South Dakota
    • 50% in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas.
  • Georgia conducts a general election runoff between the top two vote-getters on Dec. 6 if no candidate receives a majority on Nov. 8.
  • Louisiana conducts a general election runoff between the top two vote-getters on Dec. 10 if no candidate receives a majority on Nov. 8.

FILING DEADLINES​

  • All filing deadlines on the calendar above are for major-party candidates and only apply to congressional and statewide races unless noted below. Independent and third-party candidates, or contests for other races, may be subject to different deadlines.
  • California’s filing deadline is extended to Mar. 16 in races where no incumbents file for re-election.
  • Kansas’ filing deadline for congressional candidates is extended to Jun. 10 if new congressional maps are not approved by May 10.
  • Massachusetts requires candidates to file with local election officials by May 10; then, they must file again with the commonwealth secretary by Jun. 7. Therefore, the first step is necessary but not sufficient for candidates to appear on the primary ballot.
  • Nebraska’s filing deadline for incumbents, regardless of whether they seek re-election or another office, is Feb. 15.
  • Utah requires candidates to file a declaration of candidacy with the lieutenant governor’s office by Mar. 17, then either submit sufficient signatures 14 days before the candidate’s party’s convention or win sufficient support at that party convention. The first step is therefore necessary but not sufficient for candidates to appear on the primary ballot.

CONVENTIONS​

  • Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, and Utah parties typically conduct conventions prior to their primaries that can impact primary ballot access.
  • Indiana, Michigan, and South Dakota parties select nominees for downballot statewide office (such as attorney general and secretary of state) at conventions.
  • Iowa parties conduct conventions to select nominees if no candidate receives over 35% of the vote in the primary.
  • Minnesota parties conduct conventions after which candidates who fail to win their party’s endorsement often (but by no means always) drop out.
  • Virginia parties, at their discretion, may select nominees at conventions rather than via primaries.

We’ll have more details regarding the dates of these conventions as they’re announced.
