Super Tuesday is nearly upon us, and every day the pool of Democratic candidates seeking the nomination grows smaller. If you’re eager to hear the results as soon as they’re available, TV Guide can help you out with some viewing options.

Voters will flock to the polls in 14 states Tuesday morning, but we may not have an answer about which candidate came out on top until 11 p.m. ET when the final polls close in California. If it’s a close race, we may even have to wait a few days until all the votes can be counted. That being said, every major news network, liberal, moderate, or conservative, will be covering Super Tuesday, with live updates as candidates win delegates for certain states, and there will be plenty of online and streaming options as well. Depending on the results of the election, a clear frontrunner in the Democratic primary could be decided or candidates who have been dragging in the polls could make the race even more competitive.

When is Super Tuesday?

Super Tuesday is Tuesday, March 3, and the earliest polls close in Vermont and Virginia first at 7 p.m. ET. The final polls to close are in California at 11 p.m. ET.

With Pete Buttiege, Amy Klobuchar, and Tom Steyer all recently suspending their presidential campaigns, the major contenders left in the race are Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Mike Bloomberg, and Elizabeth Warren. As of Monday, the polls favor Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, but it’s still an open race at this point to determine which candidate will face President Donald Trump in the general election later this year.

How does Super Tuesday work?

The Democratic nominee isn’t selected purely based on who gets the most votes, but rather by which candidate earns the most pledged delegates, with some larger and more democratic leaning states like California having more delegates than others. There are a total of 1,357 pledged delegates up for grabs on Super Tuesday. Those delegates will be added to the ones already claimed in other primaries like Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina.

A candidate needs 1,991 delegates to secure the nomination.
