Ready or not, election season in the U.S. is about to start.

The first ballots will go out within days

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It might feel like the presi-
dential election is still a
long way off. It's not.
Election Day on Nov. 5 is
only about two months
away, and major dates,
events and political devel-
opments will make it fly by.
The stretch between now
and then will go as fast as
summer break from school
in most parts of the coun-
try.
The first mail ballots will
be sent to voters this Fri-
day. The first presidential
debate is set for Sept. 10.
Former President Donald
Trump, the Republican
nominee, is scheduled to
be sentenced in his New
York hush money case on
Sept. 18. And early in-per-
son voting will start as soon
as Sept. 20 in some states.
Here's a look at why the
calendar will move quickly,
with the Democratic and
Republican conventions
over and Labor Day signal-
ing the traditional start of
campaign season.
