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. State election authorities are still in the process of planning their presidential nominating events. This table was last updated on December 18, 2023, and will be updated as more information becomes available.
Changes to the 2024 Democratic primary calendar
The Democratic National Committee's Rules Committee voted on December 2, 2022, to approve a proposal reordering the early presidential primary calendar. South Carolina was selected as the first primary state on February 3, 2024, followed by New Hampshire and Nevada on February 6, Georgia on February 13, and Michigan on February 27.
The proposal was approved by the full Democratic National Committee on February 4, 2023.[4] States selected for early primaries had an original deadline of January 5, 2023, to submit information to the Rules and Bylaws Committee about their plans to change their primary dates. Georgia and New Hampshire were given until June 2023 to submit that information.[5] New Hampshire's deadline was further extended to September 2023.[6] Under the proposal, it would still be possible for a state to hold an early primary on a day that does not match the committee’s calendar, but that state would lose half of its delegates at the Democratic National Convention per a rule in the proposal.[7]
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.
Candidate registration and financial disclosures
Presidential candidacy registration
- See also: Presidential candidates, 2024
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) requires 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 needs to be submitted to the FEC.[8]
Federal campaign finance disclosures
All candidates must 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 raises or anticipates raising or spending a total of $100,000 by the end of a calendar year, the committee needs to file monthly campaign finance reports in the following year. If the committee does not raise, spend, or anticipate raising or spending that much, they only need to file quarterly reports to the FEC.[8]
- Quarterly reports are due April 15, July 15, October 15, and January 31.
- Monthly reports are due on the 20th of each month beginning in 2024.
- Pre-election reports are due October 24, 2024.
- Post-election reports are due December 5, 2024.

2020 Democratic primary debates
The following table provides an overview of the date, location, host, and number of participants in each scheduled 2020 Democratic presidential primary debate.
2020 conventions
Democratic National Convention
- See also: Democratic National Convention, 2020
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) held its presidential nominating convention the week of August 17, 2020, across four stages in New York City, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, and Wilmington.[64][65]
The convention was originally scheduled to take place July 13-16, 2020, in Milwaukee.[66] Organizers postponed the event in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Most of the convention's events took place remotely. The DNC announced in June 2020 that delegates should not plan to travel to Milwaukee to attend the convention.[67] Instead, votes on reports from the Rules, Platform, and Credentials committees took place remotely from August 3-15, 2020.[68]
The Democratic National Convention Committee announced on August 5, 2020, that former Vice President Joe Biden (D) and other speakers would not travel to Milwaukee.[69] Biden was formally nominated at the convention on August 18, 2020.[70]
Biden announced U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris (D) as his running mate on August 11, 2020.[71] Harris was the first Black woman to appear on a major party's ticket in the United States.[72]
Republican National Convention
- See also: Republican National Convention, 2020
The Republican Party held its national convention from August 24-27, 2020.[73]
Limited in-person events took place in Charlotte, North Carolina.[74] On July 23, 2020, President Donald Trump announced that high-profile convention events previously moved to Jacksonville, Florida, including his nomination acceptance speech, had been canceled for public health and safety reasons. Trump formally accepted the party's nomination from the White House.[75][76][77][78]
The convention was originally scheduled to take place entirely in Charlotte but statewide restrictions in response to the coronavirus pandemic led to the convention's planned relocation to Jacksonville.[79] The Republican National Committee Executive Committee voted to downsize the convention in Charlotte, reducing the number of in-person delegates from 2,500 to 336. The committee also decided to adopt the 2016 platform again since the Platform Committee would not be meeting.[80]
At the convention, party delegates typically select the Republican presidential nominee and vote to adopt a platform outlining the party's policy priorities and values. According to presidential historian Tevi Troy, however, "conventions today remain largely party advertising opportunities rather than fora for real decision-making."[81]
