Bernie Sanders will return to Vermont on Super Tuesday to hold a campaign rally in his home state.

A week away from Vermont's primary elections, Sanders' campaign announced that the the front runner for the Democratic presidential nomination will host a primary night rally with supporters and volunteers in Essex Junction.

The rally will be held at Champlain Valley Exposition, and will be free and open to the public. During Sanders' 2016 presidential run, he similarly hosted an event at the exposition.

Voters in 14 states, including Vermont, plus American Samoa will cast votes Tuesday in the biggest election day so far in the 2020 presidential campaign. Sanders is running against eight other active Democratic candidates on the Vermont primary ballot.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with the rally starting at 7:30 p.m. Entrance for the event is at a first come, first serve basis.

Super Tuesday is also Town Meeting Day — the annual day for local elections in Vermont — and Sanders is expected to vote in Burlington on that day.
