Who can vote on Super Tuesday? Here's when each state's polls open

About a third of all delegates for the presidential primaries will be up for grabs on March 5. Here's who can vote on Super Tuesday.

WASHINGTON — One of the biggest days of the presidential primary campaign is tomorrow, as candidates and voters prepare for Super Tuesday. 

Super Tuesday refers to the primary voting day when 15 states and the U.S. territory of the American Samoa select a primary candidate ahead of the general election in November. 

About a third of all delegates will be up for grabs as people across the country head to the polls. For Republicans, 874 delegates — or 36% — of the party's 2,429 delegates are at stake. 

On the Democratic side, 1,439 of the party's 3,979 delegates hang in the balance — about 30%. 

For Democrats, President Joe Biden is all but assured to sweep the Super Tuesday states. The incumbent president faces only one remaining primary challenger, Democratic Minnesota congressman Dean Phillips. 

In the Republican matchup, former President Donald Trump has a commanding lead over former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. So far, he has beat her in every primary contest of the 2024 calendar, including in her home state of South Carolina.

But Haley has vowed to stay in the race, even as polls continue to show Trump maintaining a significant lead over her.
