What is Super Tuesday?

Super Tuesday is the date most states hold their presidential primaries and caucuses — in this case, 15 states and one U.S. territory — will hold elections.

Super Tuesday has long been viewed as the day that could significantly alter the course of the presidential primaries since the most delegates are at stake. The primaries usually land in March, but occasionally are also held in February.

When is Super Tuesday?

This year, Super Tuesday is on March 5, but early voting in Oklahoma starts Thursday, Feb. 29 and goes through Saturday, March 2.

The polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

Voters must vote in the county in which they are registered. A list of early voting locations for Oklahoma can be found on the state election board's website.

On March 5, polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Super Tuesday polls

Trump is likely to be the Republican presidential nominee against Democratic incumbent Biden, according to polling.

Trump is the front-runner in the race, polling well above his remaining rival, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, according to multiple polls.

Still, Haley has vowed to stay in the contest and Super Tuesday could be her last shot at representing a competitive campaign against Trump, who has loomed large over the Republican party as its de facto leader.
