Key 2026 general election dates

Dates below are paraphrased from the official pages linked on each line and were last checked against those pages on October 18, 2026. They can change.

They ignore cutoff times and the state’s time zone, so a deadline marked for today may already have closed. The marker is not an official cutoff.
