Primary Calendar

[Joe Biden 2020]

Are there any updates on the primary calendar for 2016?

[Miles]

This site looks like it has the most recent updates.

[Mr. Morden]

I'd guess something like….

mid-January to mid-February:
IA, NH, NV, SC (in that order)

Feb. 23:
Arizona and Michigan

Mar. 1:
Super Tuesday (about 10-12 or so states vote, the biggest being Texas and Florida)

Mar. 8 to early June:
The remaining primaries

FHQ lists CO, MN, UT, and NC as being other possibilities in February, but I don't think any of those will happen.

It's also unclear to me how severe the RNC penalties are for states going on Feb. 23.  Strong enough to get Arizona and Michigan to move later?  I don't know.  I've asked Josh Putnam for clarification on the RNC rules on this point, and he's told me he'll get back to me, but he's never followed up on that.

Louisiana has moved their primary up two weeks from Sat March 19th to Sat March 5.

Texas Republicans have split their process in 2. 75% of delegates will be awarded based  on the March 1st primary. The remaining 25% will be awarded at the May 6th state convention.
