- FILING DEADLINE: Delaware congressional filing deadline
- There is no U.S. Senate race in Delaware in 2016.
- Delaware has a single At-Large Congressional District. The seat is currently held by Democrat John Carney Jr. Carney is not seeking re-election to his House seat in 2016 but is instead seeking election to Delaware’s governorship. Delaware’s House race is rated safely Democratic in November.
- Filing deadline: Delaware
- State legislature: There are 11 state Senate and 41 state House seats up for election in 2016. Democrats have a five-seat majority in the Senate and a nine-seat majority in the House. A small number of legislative districts in Delaware have held competitive elections in recent years. That leaves Republicans hard-pressed to shift the scales of chamber control in a major way.
- FILING DEADLINE: Deadline to run for 10 school board seats in six of Arkansas’ largest school districts. One of seven school board seats is up for election in Springdale Public Schools, which is the second-largest district in the state. It served 21,369 students during the 2013-2014 school year. The general election will be held on September 20, 2016. If no candidate wins the majority of votes cast in a given election, the top two vote recipients will advance to a runoff election on October 11, 2016.
