US Election Schedule: September 2024
- September 10: Hosted by ABC, the second debate between Biden and Trump.
- September 18: Should the judge decide to uphold the conviction, Donald Trump, the first sitting or former US president to be convicted of a crime, will be sentenced in the Manhattan hush-money case.
He was found guilty of falsifying documents to cover up a payment to silence a porn star on May 30.
While not a part of the election schedule, this can potentially have huge ramifications on the race to the White House.
The sentencing was scheduled for July 11 but was delayed, so the judge could weigh Trump's argument that he should have been immune from prosecution under the recent landmark Supreme Court ruling. In July, the SCOTUS ruled that presidents cannot be criminally prosecuted for official acts.
US Election Schedule: November 2024
- November 5: Election Day
As per Statista, the US has 161.4 million registered voters.
Election results could take days, but would be expected later in November.

- January 20:The inauguration ceremony for the election winner and their vice president will happen. At this ceremony, the next presidentand vice-president will be officially sworn into office.
