One of the goals of creating our 50 State Post-Vote Guide was to provide an overview of the timeline and deadlines for key post-vote processes. We hope that these calendars will be a valuable resource to partners and allies in monitoring and protecting our democracy. We recommend bookmarking these calendars, as well as sharing them with colleagues and partners.
These calendars cover these post-vote processes in each state:
Please note: We created these calendars using our latest research conducted November 2023. We will do our best to monitor changes across the states and update calendars as needed. If you have feedback on the calendars or see a date you have a question about, don’t hesitate to contact [email protected].
We’ve created calendars for all 50 states with date ranges and deadlines for post-vote processes. For each state, we have included some of the key processes that happen once ballots are cast, including pre-canvassing, ballot scanning, local and state canvassing, local and state certification, and audit processes (where applicable). For each step detailed in the timeline, you can click into that item to learn more about the process and access source details and citation information.

If you’re interested in comparing deadlines across a particular post-vote process step, we’ve also created calendars that allow you to see all the state deadlines for a given step, including:
