70 Days Until Midterm Election Day! Upcoming Primaries and Deadlines

[Wednesdays]

September 6:
Massachusetts primaries

September 7:
New Hampshire: primaries registration deadline
President Biden unveils President Obama portrait at the White House

September 13:
Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode Island primaries
Primary season ends (except Louisiana)

Begin General Election Season

IMPORTANT: it’s crucial that everyone read well ahead on these dates, as there are many “received-by” dates that could be missed if one waits until the last minute. For example, in Louisiana the absentee ballot request deadline is only 3 days before the absentee ballot deadline, so one has to mail something in TWICE in the last week before Election Day. I would advise starting the process at least two weeks before the deadlines. Remember, we’re dealing with DeJoy’s postal system!

TX Sec State is always behind by a week or more on registration data.

Requesting Vote by Mail ballot:

For the Nov 8, 2022 Election, the last day your ABBM can be received by your Early Voting Clerk is Friday, Oct 28, 2022. Request it early!! Mail is iffy. If you get your ballot and it is too late to mail it, take it with you to the polls and you will be allowed to vote there.

At the moment, I'm posting deadlines one month ahead. As the primary season ends, I'll be posting the full schedule.
