As the 2020 presidential election stretches on, you might be anxious to finally cast a vote and declare your allegiance for one of the candidates you've been following over the past few months.
The good news: Your chance is coming. Starting in February, states will begin to hold their 2020 primary elections, caucuses, and conventions. While the processes differ from state to state, this is when people get to place an initial vote for a 2020 candidate. Each state then decides, based on those votes, how many delegates they will send to a party's national convention for each candidate. Then, at the national convention, the party will count up the delegates and choose their ultimate candidate.
Primary votes are key in deciding who gets to run in the official race, so mark the date on your calendar now. While the below dates are the most up-to-date possible (via New York Times and Vox), some are subject to change, so we will update this post accordingly. And without further ado, scroll down, and get voting.
