What to know about Super Tuesday and why it matters

One of the most important states to watch is North Carolina, where early voting is already underway.

North Carolina has a lot of influence in the presidential race, with 110 delegates for the Democrats and 71 for the Republicans up for grabs. It also boast many other competitive races for statewide and congressional offices, some of which may require a runoff if no one gets more than 30% of the vote.

On the Democratic side, the presidential primary is not very exciting, as current US President Joe Biden is the only name on the ballot. But “uncommitted” voters can still show their discontent with his administration by choosing “No preference” as an option.
