'''Super Tuesday''' is the day in the presidential [[primary]] when the most [[delegate]]s are decided based on the votes cast in party primaries.
It is one of the most important dates on the U.S. political calendar.
The day is in February or March<ref>https://www.britannica.com/topic/Super-Tuesday</ref><ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/01/us/politics/super-tuesday-when-states.html</ref> - more often, of an election year, when the greatest number of U.S. states hold primary elections and caucuses. Approximately one-third of all delegates to the presidential nominating conventions can be won on Super Tuesday, more than on any other day. The results on Super Tuesday are therefore a strong indicator of the likely eventual presidential nominee of each political party.
Traditionally, Super Tuesday is the day that is seen to most accurately forecast how the presidential primaries will play out. Every four years, the contest is when millions of Americans in a wide swath of states head to their polling places, usually in March.
Super Tuesday earned its nickname because its the date the most states hold their primaries and caucuses − meaning it’s also when the most delegates are at stake to earn the party nominations.<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/02/17/what-is-super-tuesday-2024-presidential-primary/72640995007/</ref>
