On this page, we'll highlight some of the key races to watch, organized by office.

President

The final presidential nominating contests take place this week. This includes state-run primaries Tuesday in Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota. There is also a Democratic primary in the District of Columbia. The calendar concludes with Democratic caucuses in Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands on Saturday.

While the races have long been settled, the presumptive nominees have still faced some headwinds in states where voters have certain other options. For President Joe Biden, his main opposition has materialized on the 'Uncommitted' line, which has been used to register a protest against the handling of the Israel-Hamas war. Uncommitted (or 'No Preference') is an option in three of the states.

On the Republican side, Nikki Haley has drawn double-digit support in many states, despite dropping out months ago.  This week, Haley is only on the ballot in New Mexico, although there is a No Preference option in Montana. These are the first primaries since Donald Trump was convicted in a New York courtroom as well as the first since Haley said she will vote for the former president in November. 

For most elections, Texas requires a majority winner. In the March 5 statewide primary, no candidate crossed that threshold in 30 races that we track. This includes eight for the U.S. House and 22 for the Legislature, with 19 of those in the State House.

Runoffs Tuesday will determine party nominees.

Idaho Democrats held their presidential nominating contest on Thursday. While designated a caucus, it was functionally a party-run primary. 

Joe Biden received 95% support, winning all 23 pledged delegates. 

There are four statewide primaries on Tuesday. In addition, a special congressional election will be held to complete the term of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R).

On this page, we'll highlight some of the key races to watch in each state. 

Georgia

Polls close at 7:00 PM Eastern Time. In elections where no candidate gets a majority of the vote, the top two finishers will meet in a June 18 runoff.

Georgia is the first state this year to hold a down-ballot primary after a separate state-run presidential primary (March 12). There will be many more such primaries through early September.

U.S. House 

Voters in California's 20th congressional district will fill one of five U.S. House vacancies on Tuesday. The winner will complete the term of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R), who resigned at the end of last year.

Both candidates that advanced from the March 19 top two special primary were Republicans, so the party is guaranteed to retain the seat. This will increase the GOP partisan edge to 218-213. 

The runoff features State Assemblyman Vince Fong and Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux. Fong is McCarthy's handpicked successor, and he has subsequently been endorsed by Donald Trump and almost all GOP members of the California U.S. House delegation.

Maryland, Nebraska, and West Virginia hold their presidential and down-ballot primaries on Tuesday. Use the links below for full results.
