BROOKLINE, MA — The Massachusetts primary kicked off last week with early voting, but Tuesday is Super Tuesday, so named for primary election day being held in 14 states, including Massachusetts.

The polls open at 7 a.m. across Brookline and registered Democrats or un-enrolled can head in to cast a ballot for their favorite Democratic Presidential Candidate. The Bay State awards 114 delegates to presidential conventions and the majority of assignments are based on the outcome of the primary. California (494) has the largest delegate haul in the country.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren hopes to gain ground on Democratic front-runner Sen. Bernie Sanders now that Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg and Tom Steyer dropped out after the South Carolina primary.
