About the data

Primary dates are sourced from the Federal Election Commission's official 2026 primary calendar (last updated 4/22/2026). Dates are subject to change — states occasionally adjust schedules due to redistricting, court orders, or legislative action.

Some states use unique formats: California and Washington run top-two primaries (top two advance regardless of party). Maine uses ranked-choice tabulation. Alaska uses a top-four primary. Several states have runoffs if no candidate gets a majority.
