Voters in 16 US states and one US territory will  cast ballots in presidential primaries on Super Tuesday.

Going by the past, Super Tuesday can  provide  a clear indication of which candidates will win their parties’ presidential nominations.

In 2020, for example, Joe Biden brought Bernie Sanders’ march to the Democratic nomination to a crashing halt after he won 10 of the Super Tuesday states. Biden went on to become the Democratic nominee and later won the general election against Donald Trump.

Which states will vote on Super Tuesday?

Voters in 15 states – Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia – will cast their ballots in the Republican presidential primary on Tuesday. All those states except Alaska will hold their Democratic primary contests on Tuesday as well.

The US territory of American Samoa will simultaneously hold its Democratic caucus, and Tuesday also marks the last day for Iowa Democrats to mail in their primary ballot
