Voters in 24 US states are set to go to the polls in the Super Tuesday primary elections - the biggest day of voting ever in a presidential nominating race.
The states will account for over half the delegates who will formally choose the candidates for November's election.
The Republican race, in which John McCain is leading his main challenger, Mitt Romney, may be decided on Tuesday.
But the Democratic contest between Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is very tight and may go further.
Both parties' presidential hopefuls spent Monday jetting across the US in last-minute campaigning ahead of the crucial primaries and caucuses.
In three states, only the Democratic Party is involved, and in two, only the Republican Party. In the other 19, which together account for nearly half the US population, both parties are in action.
