Length of primary campaigns
While each state holds a primary, the amount of time between signature filing deadlines can differ greatly. In 2015, candidates running for state legislative office in Louisiana had just 44 days between their filing deadline and primary. Meanwhile, candidates in Mississippi had 157 days, more than triple that of Louisiana, to campaign for the primary election. On average, candidates were given about 87 days between the filing deadline and primary election to get their message to voters.
Primary Information for 2015
Note: The signature filing deadline is the date by which candidates must file nominating signatures with election officials in order to have their name placed on the ballot.
Note: Ballot access is a complicated issue. The dates in the table below are primarily for candidates filing for access to the primary.
