In 2025, competitive congressional, state, and local elections will take place in a few locations, while the majority of the United States holds its major primary and general elections in even-numbered years.
The following races will be covered by The Associated Press this year:
January
January 7: A special general election is held in Virginia to fill the state Senate District and state House District 26 legislative seats. National Democrats have focused on both seats, which became available when their current holders won congressional elections.
February
February 18: Wisconsin has primary elections for the position of Superintendent of Public Instruction and a seat on the state Supreme Court.
April
Two special elections for U.S. House seats are held in Florida on April 1. Due to the retirement of former Representative Matt Gaetz, who was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump as attorney general but then withdrew, the 1st District, which is thought to be a solid Republican seat, is now empty. Following his appointment by Trump as national security adviser, former Representative Mike Waltz resigned from the 6th District.
Wisconsin also holds general elections for the position of Superintendent of Public Instruction and a seat on the state Supreme Court on April 1.
May
May 20: Primary elections are held in Pennsylvania for the Superior Court, the state Supreme Court, the Pittsburgh mayoral race, and Philadelphia municipal elections.
June
June 10: New Jersey’s legislative and gubernatorial primary elections are held. In consideration of the Jewish festival of Shavuot, which fell on the scheduled election date, Governor Phil Murphy signed a measure on Tuesday that rescheduled the state’s primary from June 3 to June 10.
June 17: The governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and House of Delegates primaries are held in Virginia.
June 24: The mayoral and other municipal races in New York City are up for primaries.
November
November 4: In the contests that had primaries earlier in the year, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania hold general elections.
