New Jersey voters and those from five other states head to the primary polls Tuesday to make their picks for presidential candidates.

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, already has secured enough delegates to receive his party's nomination.

Late on Monday, the Associated Press reported that Hillary Clinton already secured the number of pledged delegates and superdelegates required to win the Democratic nomination, making her the first major-party female presidential nominee.

Still, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont noted that superdelegates can change their minds before the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in July, allowing him time to convince them to switch sides.

NJ Advance Media will be bringing you live coverage throughout primary day of the presidential race as well as New Jersey statewide and local races.

New Jersey is one of six states with a June 7 primary. Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. It is the only voting state on the East Coast.

The others are California, Montana, New Mexico and South Dakota; Democratic voters also caucus in North Dakota.

New Jersey has a closed primary, which means only voters registered for the political party which is holding the primary can cast a ballot in Tuesday's election. However, the state's 2.6 million unaffiliated voters can take part if they choose to declare a party at the polls.

There were about 5.55 million registered voters in New Jersey as of May 31, according to the state Division of Elections' website. There were 2.7 million unaffiliated or independent voters, 1.79 million Democrats and 1.1 million Republicans. There were also 3,258 people in the Libertarian Party, 1,796 in the Conservative Party and 1,571 in the Green Party.
