Kentucky

The Kentucky primary will take place on Tuesday, May 21. It's a closed primary, meaning to vote in the Democratic or Republican primary, a voter must be registered with that party.

Oregon

The Oregon primary will take place on Tuesday, May 21. This primary is also closed, meaning voters must be registered with the party primary they wish to vote in.

Post-Super Tuesday and only about six months out from the general election in November, Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden are the frontrunners in their respective parties. Trump has over 2,000 delegates so far, exceeding the necessary amount to clinch the party's nomination. Similarly, Biden has garnered substantial support to win his party's nomination.
