Will there be a 2028 presidential election?

Yes - there will be a 2028 presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 7, 2028. The Constitution fixes presidential terms at four years, and federal law sets Election Day as the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The last election was in 2024, so the next is in 2028.

There is no lawful way to cancel, skip, or postpone a presidential election. Elections have been held on schedule through the Civil War in 1864, the Great Depression, both World Wars, and the 2020 pandemic. Changing the date or the four-year term would require a constitutional amendment - a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states.

The current president's term ends at noon on January 20, 2029 under the 20th Amendment regardless of circumstances. A president must be chosen at the 2028 election and sworn in on that date.

So if you are asking whether the 2028 election is actually happening: yes, it is scheduled, it is constitutionally required, and the date is November 7, 2028.
