Reince Priebus, national chair of the Republican Party, favors a national convention for his party that starts on July 14, 2016, according to this story. If that date is chosen, it will be the earliest presidential convention for either major party since 1992, when Democrats met July 13-16.
The same story says that some Republican Party leaders hope to persuade the state legislatures of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, to all hold their presidential primaries on the same day, and that day would be very soon after the early primary states. The early primary states (states that have national party permission to hold the earliest primaries and caucuses) are Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada.
In 2012, Michigan held its primary on February 28; Ohio on March 6; Illinois on March 20; Wisconsin on April 3; Indiana on May 8. It would be rather surprising if these states could be persuaded to hold their primaries on the same day.
