29 changes to the candidate list. COVID-19 date change for Hawaii, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania.
by TheGreenPapers.com Staff

27 March 2020: Due to the COVID-19 virus, on-site same-day voting for the Hawaii Party-run Democratic Presidential Preference Poll on 4 April is cancelled. The mail-ballot return deadline is 22 May. Results will be tabulated and released on 23 May.

27 March 2020: Due to the COVID-19 virus, the New York Democratic Presidential Primary and Special Election for House CD 27 have been postponed from 28 April to 23 June, the date for regular statewide Congressional Primaries. This date is outside the DNC's window, the 2nd Tuesday in June (9 June), for state parties to hold their primaries and caucuses. The Board of Elections certified that President Trump is the only presidential candidate qualified to be on the Republican Presidential ballot, therefore the Republican Presidential Primary is cancelled.

27 March 2020: Due to the COVID-19 virus, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed a a bill to move Ohio's Democratic and Republican Presidential Primaries, and regular Statewide Primaries to 28 April. The election will be conducted almost entirely by mail. Ballots have to be postmarked by 27 April or delivered by hand on Election Day. The primary's original date was 17 March.

27 March 2020: Due to the COVID-19 virus, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf signed SB 422 which moves the regular Statewide Primaries; Democratic, and Republican Presidential Primaries from 28 April to 2 June.
