About US Presidential Election 2028
The next United States presidential election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 7, 2028 — and the countdown above already tracks every day until the vote the entire world watches. The 61st presidential election will choose the occupant of the White House for the term beginning January 20, 2029.
It is an open race: with the incumbent term-limited by the 22nd Amendment, both parties will hold competitive primaries through early 2028 — Iowa and New Hampshire traditionally first, Super Tuesday in March deciding much of the field — before the summer conventions crown the nominees. The fall brings debates, half a billion dollars a week in advertising, and the final sprint through the swing states.
The presidency is decided by the Electoral College: 538 electors allocated among the states, with 270 needed to win. That arithmetic concentrates the campaign in a handful of battlegrounds, and it is why election night attention fixes on the same familiar map. Alongside the presidency, the 2028 ballot includes all 435 House seats and a third of the Senate.
