Just hours after President Joe Biden made his historic announcement Sunday that he was ending his reelection bid, Vice President Kamala Harris announced she is running for president and will be on the ballot in the fall.
The Democratic National Convention will be held next month in Chicago.
The Republican National Convention concluded Thursday night in Milwaukee, where former President Donald Trump formally accepted the party’s nomination and announced Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance as his vice presidential candidate.
But when will the election be held? Which states will have early voting?
Here’s what you need to know about the 2024 election and when you can vote:
When is Election Day 2024?
The 2024 election takes place on 5th November 2024 − just over than 100 days from the day Biden announced he would not seek another term.
Early voting will take place this year again and several states start the process as soon as in a few weeks.
The process allows U.S. citizens with a valid ID to cast ballots in person at a polling place prior to the presidential election.
