About Presidential Term Countdown
Our Mission
Presidential Term Countdown provides a simple, real-time tracker showing the exact time remaining until the end of the current presidential term on January 20, 2029 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time, as mandated by the 20th Amendment to the Constitution.
We created this site to:
- Help citizens stay informed about the presidential timeline
- Provide accurate information about upcoming elections
- Encourage voter registration and participation
- Offer a neutral, non-partisan resource for civic awareness
How It Works
Our countdown timer is calculated using JavaScript that continuously updates based on the time remaining until the constitutionally-mandated end of the presidential term at noon on January 20, 2029.
The progress bar shows what percentage of the four-year presidential term (starting January 20, 2025) has been completed, giving you a visual representation of the term's progression.
The information ticker displays key dates related to the electoral process, including:
- Presidential election dates (November 7, 2028)
- Midterm congressional elections (November 8, 2026)
- Electoral college meeting (December 18, 2028)
- Primary schedules (beginning February 2028)
- Voter registration deadlines (state-specific)
- Constitutional information on term limits
All dates are based on official government schedules and constitutional requirements for federal elections.
Non-Partisan Information
Presidential Term Countdown is not affiliated with any political party, campaign, candidate, or government organization. We provide factual, non-partisan information about the constitutional timeline for presidential terms.
Our goal is simply to inform citizens about the electoral process and timeline, regardless of political affiliation. We believe that an informed electorate is essential to a functioning democracy.
For official government information about elections, please visit USA.gov's Election Center.
Voter Registration
We encourage all eligible citizens to register to vote. Our site links to vote.gov, the official U.S. government website with information on how to register in your state.
Voter registration requirements vary by state, with some allowing registration up to Election Day, while others require registration 15-30 days before an election. Check your state's specific requirements to ensure you can participate in upcoming elections.
