On April 1, the Oklahoma House Elections & Ethics Committee killed SB 233, which would have moved the presidential primary away from the first Tuesday in March to the fourth Tuesday in March. As a result, it is very likely the Oklahoma 2016 presidential primary will be March 1.

Also on April 1, the Alabama Senate Constitution, Ethics & Elections Committee passed SB 240, which moves the primary for president and all other office in presidential years from the 2nd Tuesday in March to the first Tuesday in March.

It is looking likely that 20 (or possibly more) of the 39 Republican presidential primaries of 2016 will be in March. Thanks to Josh Putnam for the news about Oklahoma and Alabama.
