Timeline of the 2024 United States presidential election
The following is a tentative timeline of major events leading up, during, and after the 2024 United States presidential election. This will be the first presidential election to be run with population data from the 2020 census. In addition to the dates mandated by the relevant federal laws such as those in the U.S. Constitution and the Electoral Count Act, several milestones have consistently been observed since the adoption of the conclusions of the 1971 McGovern–Fraser Commission.

2020
- November 7: Joe Biden is declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election by a consensus of major news outlets projecting the results.[1]
- December 18: The U.S. Supreme Court delivers its per curiam decision in Trump v. New York regarding the 2020 United States census, effectively allowing Trump's July 2020 presidential memorandum to stand, which ordered the Department of Commerce exclude the estimated counts of illegal immigrants. The per curiam decision vacated the U.S. District Court's previously ruling on the basis that the case was premature due to lack of standing and ripeness. Justice Stephen Breyer files a dissent, which was joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, arguing that the Court should have considered the case.[2]
- December 31: The U.S. Census Bureau misses the deadline to deliver the 2020 census results and the new apportionment counts to outgoing President Donald Trump.[3]

- December 10 (at least six days prior to the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December): The "safe harbor" deadline under the Electoral Count Act, where states must finally resolve any controversies over the selection of their electors of the Electoral College.[6]
- December 16 (the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December): The electors meet in their respective state capitals (electors for the District of Columbia meet within the district) to formally vote for the president and vice president.[7] The number of states that prohibit faithless electors is subject to change. In 2020, 33 states and DC had such laws.[8]
