The road to the White House in 2028
Understand the presidential election process and the Electoral College.
The next scheduled U.S. presidential election is November 7, 2028. Parties choose nominees through primaries, caucuses and national conventions before the general election.
The Electoral College has 538 votes; a majority is 270. A national polling lead is different from an Electoral College majority. Check dated original filings and announcements rather than treating illustrative portraits as evidence of candidacy.
