Any serious errors (meaning, I don't care if your name is mispelled), let us know.

A reminder on primaries:

For Governor or Senate races, primaries are one day, ten events. You are welcome to spend money on ads or org, but you get no additional funds beyond the standard starting funds.
For Lt. Governor races, primaries are one day, five events. No money can be spent on ads or org, just like the regular race.

Primaries are tomorrow, so you must turn your budget/platform in ASAP in order to get prepolls.

My apologies for the delays on my end. I'm coming out of finals now, so I'm just getting back to a sensible schedule.

All APP races will have their Days 1 and 2 delayed, and the break day removed. So the schedule will proceed as:
May 13 - Election Day 1
May 14 - Election Day 2
May 15 - Election Day 3
May 16 - FINAL ELECTION DAY FOR ALL RACES - DEADLINE FOR EVENTS WILL BE MIDNIGHT, Eastern time

Fundraising and prepolls are on their way.

Second note:

The Republican candidate for APP Governor has defaulted, so the GOP Lt. Gov candidate has the option of running in his place. I'll need a decision there ASAP. Whichever race goes forward (Gov or Ltg) the schedule will be delayed as stated above.

Apparently now that I'm leaving for a vacation, things with a potential job offer have stolen most of my time. I won't be able to get halfpolls out for any of my races until later tomorrow (Friday, which is when Day 3 is due, if I'm not mistaken).

The halfpolls will be early enough on Friday that there should be no need to push the election back. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Since it's taking me longer than even I anticipated to get my stuff together, I'm going to have to push back Days 3 and 4 one day. Halfpolls should be done today sometime, Day 3 will be due sometime Saturday, and Day 4 on Sunday.

My schedule got a little mixed up today, so I need more time for halfpolls also. The remaining APP races (SV Senate and APP LtG) are now on the Addie schedule as described above, delayed by one day.

Day 3 due Saturday at midnight
Day 4 due Sunday at midnight

Sorry for the delays and confusion.
