Footnotes 1.  Because delegate selection rules vary by state and by party, some presidential election, caucus and convention dates are not yet available, and the published dates are subject to change. In some states, for example, one or both major parties intend to hold caucuses but have not finalized their plans. To account for these and other similar situations, this chart will be updated as additional information becomes available.2.
