Runoff races are as follows; Here are some dates pertaining to upcoming run off electionsApril 27: This is the last day to register to vote and be eligible to cast a ballot in the primary runoffs. Runoffs happen whenever a single candidate doesn’t cross the 50% threshold in the March primary. Almost certainly, there will be races that head to a runoff.

May 18: Early voting in the primary runoff begins. Keep in mind that voters can only participate in one party’s primary each year. If you voted in the Democratic primary in March, for example, you can’t vote in the Republican primary runoff in May.
May 22: Early voting in the primary runoff ends. May 26: This is primary runoff election day, your last chance to have a say in whom the Republicans or Democrats nominate in any races that went to a runoff.

July 13-16: Delegates will convene at the Democratic National Convention to officially select and nominate their presidential ticket. Normally, a single candidate breaks from the pack and effectively clenches the nomination before the actual convention. But it is possible that no one wins a majority of delegates in the primaries. At this point, the party will have a contested convention on its hands. Aug. 24-27: Just like the Democratic Party did last month, the Republican Party will convene to officially select its ticket. Barring any developments, President Donald Trump is expected to lead the ticket on the Republican side of the ballot. Oct. 5: This is your last day to register to vote for the general election.
