It's officially a presidential election year, which means 2024 is full of primaries, caucuses and more ahead of Election Day. Here are some key political dates for this year's election calendar:
Primaries and caucuses
Democratic and Republican nominees are determined through primaries and caucuses that take place over the course of an election year. While Democratic and Republican primaries are on the same day in some states, others hold the events on separate dates.
Based on the results of primaries and caucuses, political parties award delegates to specific candidates. Those delegates then go on to represent their states at national party conventions, where the presidential nominees are officially chosen.
