<span class="mw-page-title-main">Super Tuesday</span> Day with many US presidential primary elections

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 results on Super Tuesday are therefore a strong indicator of the likely eventual presidential nominee of each political party.

A Minnesota presidential primary has been held six times: 1916, 1952, 1956, 1992, 2020 and 2024. The state of Minnesota has normally held presidential caucuses instead. On May 22, 2016 Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton signed a bill that reinstated a presidential primary starting in 2020.
