Super Tuesday, 2016
Super Tuesday I[edit]
Primaries and caucuses[edit]
March 1 was the date of the first Super Tuesday.[1] This date was dubbed the SEC Primary, since many of the participating states were represented in the U.S. Southeastern Conference for college athletics (five southern states).[2][3]
The participating states included Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado (with caucuses), Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota (with caucuses), Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, and Virginia. Additionally, Republican caucuses were held in Alaska, North Dakota, and Wyoming.[3][4] The territory of American Samoa held a Democratic caucus.[4] There were 1,015 and 595 total delegates available in the Democratic and Republican primary races respectively. This includes superdelegates.[1]
