Minnesotans are voting Tuesday in the presidential primary election to determine which candidates will win the state’s primary delegates.

Voters will choose one of the major political parties in Minnesota — the Democratic, Republican, and Legalize Marijuana Now parties — and then vote for one candidate in the party. The results determine how many delegates the candidates receive. Delegates will attend their respective parties’ national conventions this summer to vote on which candidate will become their party’s nominee for the November presidential election.

Several Minnesota Muslim leaders are urging Democrats to vote “uncommitted” in the primary to send a message to President Joe Biden about his handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

The polls will be open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m.; anyone who is in line by 8 p.m. will be allowed to vote.
