Six states \u2014 Alabama, Connecticut, Minnesota, South Carolina, Vermont and Wisconsin \u2014 are holding primaries on Tuesday. The first polls will close at 7 p.m. Eastern time.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s when to expect both unofficial and certified results.<\/p>\n
Alabama<\/p>\n
Alabama is holding special congressional primaries on Tuesday in four newly drawn districts after the state adopted new congressional maps. Polls close at 7 p.m. local time (8 p.m. Eastern), after which the election board will begin tabulating.<\/p>\n
Early votes will be counted first, but since Alabama has a relatively rigid early voting policy, it\u2019s likely there will be fewer of them than in other states. Ballots cast on Election Day will be next.<\/p>\n

If no candidates gather enough votes to win the nomination outright, which is likely, the race will go to a runoff between the top two candidates, to be held Aug. 25.<\/p>\n The Times\u2019s tracker<\/a> will have the results as they arrive.<\/p>\n Vermont<\/p>\n Vermont\u2019s election system is decentralized, meaning that clerks representing Vermont\u2019s 247 cities and towns are responsible for administering elections in their own districts. Most of these municipalities use voting tabulators, which makes counting ballots quicker; election officials expect all clerks to report their unofficial results by Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
