2024 Statewide Primary Calendar

This calendar reflects the date of each state's 2024 primary election for offices other than president.^†

While we do note here where the date is the same, see the 2024 Presidential Election Calendar for the complete schedule.

For offices other than president, 46 states hold traditional single party contests. In nine of those states, some races may require a runoff election to be decided. A tenth state, Maine, uses a ranked choice voting tabulation, where necessary. Nominated candidates meet in the November 5 general election.

In the four remaining states, all candidates from all parties appear on a single ballot. The top two finishers in California and Washington advance to the general election, while in Alaska the top four advance. Louisiana has a hybrid system, with no nominees determined prior to a November 5 all-party primary. A candidate can win an election that day by getting a majority of the vote, otherwise there is a top two runoff.
