When do Super Tuesday polls close tonight? Here's how late you can vote
Washington — Voters in 15 states are making their voices heard in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination on Super Tuesday, March 5, but what time did the polls in those states open and how late can they vote?
For the GOP, 13 primaries and two caucuses are taking place, with 865 delegates at stake for the two Republican candidates still in the race — former President Donald Trump and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.
Super Tuesday is the biggest voting day of the 2024 presidential election, and Trump comes into it with victories in all but one of the Republican contests held so far — Haley notched a win in the District of Columbia's primary on Sunday— and a commanding lead in the delegate race.
Elections for the Democratic presidential nomination are also taking place in 15 states and one U.S. territory, American Samoa, though President Biden does not have a major challenger.
