WATCH LIVE: Mega Tuesday Primary and Caucus Results

The third consecutive Tuesday to feature primary voting conventions — deemed by many as “Mega Tuesday” — is finally here, with five separate states heading to the polls.

The delegate count at stake on Tuesday is steep; Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton looks to pad her lead over Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, while Donald Trump is hoping to truly put the GOP race away for good with a dominating performance. In addition to Illinois and North Carolina, three other states will be holding true winner-take-all conventions for their delegate counts: Ohio, Missouri, and Florida.

Ohio and Florida are of particular importance for the Republican side, as many people have estimated that the candidates representing those states — Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Ohio Governor John Kasich — must win in order to hold off a strengthened Trump candidacy. Trump currently has 460 delegates compared to 370 for Texas Senator Ted Cruz, 163 for Rubio, and 63 for Kasich.

Here are the delegate counts for Mega Tuesday states:

ILLINOIS: 69 delegates (R), 156 delegates (D)

FLORIDA: 99 delegates (R), 214 delegates (D)

MISSOURI: 52 delegates (R), 71 delegates (D)

NORTH CAROLINA: 72 delegates (R), 107 delegates (D)

OHIO: 66 delegates (R), 143 delegates (D)

Hillary Clinton’s 1,231 delegates lead Sanders’ 576 heading into Tuesday.
