Well primaries are still held to this minimum date. Have we ever had a primary held in the preceding year?
The issue is that of campaigning and media races. As OSR said, candidates will, as they are now, unofficially campaign via news appearances, public speeches, visiting states across the country, and generally taking steps to boos their visibility. It's hard to legislate all that stuff as being against campaign rules.
Yes, we can make a law that says the primaries will be held over April and candidates can only announce in March and the debates will only be held in March as well, with the general being held in May. However, that won't stop candidates from unofficially campaigning as early as 2 years prior if they so wished.
