What will be the primary schedules in 2020 and 2024?

[Mr. Morden]

Here's all we have so far:

Though note that, despite what it says there, Colorado now has switched from a caucus to a primary for 2020.

Also, on the Democratic side, it's thought that IA, NH, and SC will all *probably* retain their early status, while NV is in danger of losing its early spot to another Western state.

So what about 2024, just wondering?

So what about 2024, just wondering?

We don't know yet.  All of the states with state-funded primaries that have the primary date written into law will continue to have the same dates (adjusted for day of the week) indefinitely into the future, until such time as those state governments change the law.  E.g., all of the states listed in the above link for "March 3, 2020" presumably have state law saying that their primary is to be held on the first Tuesday of March.  So if nothing changes until 2024, then they'd presumably also go on the first Tuesday of March in 2024, whatever day that happens to be.

But any of the state governments of these states can change state law whenever they want to.  So any 2020 date could be changed within the next three years, and then 2024 dates might change after that, etc.

Oh, I see. The states really should consider a primary over caucus anyway.
