Super Tuesday: When do polls close in 16 primary election states
Voters Gear Up for Super Tuesday
Voters in 16 states are eagerly preparing to head to the polls on Super Tuesday, marking the official start of the 2024 election season. This crucial day will determine the choices for presidential, congressional, and state leaders.
While all eyes are on Colorado and Maine, two states that recently attempted to remove former President Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot, the Supreme Court ruling on Monday thwarted their efforts. Additionally, Alabama and North Carolina will be voting with new congressional district maps due to redistricting, leading to potential shifts in power between the Republican and Democratic parties.
Delegates Up for Grabs
Around a third of the delegates are up for grabs, with 854 delegates available for Republicans and 1,420 for Democrats. This means there will be 16 Democratic presidential contests and 15 Republican contests.
