Super Tuesday is the United States presidential primary election day in February or March 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 particular states holding primaries on Super Tuesday have varied from year to year because each state selects its election day separate from one another.
