Election dates by state
Find the next general-election record we hold for your state, then check its dates and sources. Coverage varies by state.
Latest recorded date: 2026-10-11. Source read dates accompany individual calendar dates; the election record date can be older.
“—” means this record holds no date and nothing about why: a gap in what Rallybase has read, not a statement that the state has none; the state’s election office has the answer. Text in quotation marks is the state’s own sentence: a rule, or a dated sentence whose basis (postmark or receipt) the page does not say; Rallybase does not work a date out from it. The other cells are reasons, each with its link and date under Sources: “not a step in this state”; “two official pages disagree”; “varies by county”; “the pages we read print no date” (we read them, they print none); “every voter is mailed a ballot”; “the only dated calendar is a draft, not used”; “dates by method, below” (the lines under that state); and, for the states whose election site did not give us the page, “the state’s site refused our reader on <date>”, “the state’s robots.txt did not answer on <date>” or “the state’s site answered with a bot-check page, no content, on <date>”. Open a row’s Sources for what was read.
