Both Democrat and Republican Primaries will be held on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, also known as Super Tuesday. If three or more candidates in the same party are in a race for the same office, then in order for a candidate to become the nominee to be placed on the general ballot, they would need to get 50% plus one vote. If that does not happen, it will trigger a runoff election for the top two candidates.
