Today is Super Tuesday, where eligible Minnesotans can head to the polls to participate in the state’s presidential primary election. Polls open at 7 a.m. and will be open through 8 p.m.

With contests in 16 states and American Samoa, the Super Tuesday primaries will be the largest day of voting of the year outside of the November election. Both Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican front-runner Donald Trump hope to amass a string of lopsided victories that will help them move beyond the primaries and focus on their expected general election rematch. Trump rival Nikki Haley faces a tough slate of contests, mostly in the types of reliably Republican-voting states where she has struggled to win support or in states where party rules heavily favor the front-runner. Super Tuesday has the largest delegate haul of any day in the primary calendar.

Super Tuesday has the largest delegate haul of any day in the primary calendar, representing more than one-third of the total delegates available in each party’s nomination process and more than 70% of the delegates needed to mathematically clinch either party’s nomination. However, neither Trump nor Biden will be able to claim the title of “presumptive nominee” on Super Tuesday.

According to the latest exclusive KSTP/SurveyUSA polling data of over 1,800 Minnesota registered voters; 63% say they are either certain or probably voting in Tuesday’s Minnesota presidential primary. Some 43% of likely primary voters say they plan to vote in the Republican primary, while 38% plan to vote in the Democratic primary. 18% say they aren’t certain about which primary they will vote in.

On the Republican ballot, 79% of those responding say they will vote for Donald Trump, 15% for Nikki Haley with 3% supporting another candidate and 4% were undecided. While in the Democratic primary, 76% of our respondents say they will vote for Joe Biden, 7% for Dean Phillips, 6% for another candidate and 10% were undecided.

This will be the first primary that some will be able to participate in following the 2023 signing of the “Restore the Vote Act,” which restored voting rights to formerly incarcerated Minnesotans.

Previously, people with felony convictions would have to complete parole before being eligible to vote. Now, voting rights are restored for people with felony convictions when they complete their incarceration.

The Minnesota Supreme Court granted a petition for accelerated review that was filed by Minnesota Voters Alliance regarding the law. The group argues the law violates the constitutional provision banning felons from voting “unless restored to civil rights.” The high court’s decision comes a month after an Anoka County judge dismissed the challenge to the law. The court set oral arguments in the case for April 1.

Wisconsin will have its primary on April 2.
