Estimating the final vote shares for Trump and Haley
This chart shows the range of estimates for the leading candidates’ shares of the final vote. As more votes are reported, the ranges should narrow as our statistical model becomes more confident.
How our estimates changed over time
Once a state has counted all its votes, our estimated margin and the reported margin will match. As a rule, when our estimated margin is steady in the presence of new data, our forecast is more trustworthy.

What’s powering our forecast right now?
Our election model makes use of three indicators in creating an estimate of the final result.
Pre-election polls
25%
Our model

Actual results

- Pre-election polls: At the start of the night, our estimate is based on pre-election polls, results of past elections and demographic data.
- Our model: As results come in, we compare actual results in places that have mostly completed reporting to our pre-election estimates to create a statistical model for the remaining vote.
- Actual results: As a county reports more of its vote, those actual results will gradually supersede our previous estimates.
What to expect
Polls close at 11 p.m. Eastern time. In the 2022 state primaries, first results were reported 11 minutes later, and the last update of the night was at 6:10 a.m. Eastern time with 48 percent of votes reported.
All active registered voters were mailed a ballot, which must be postmarked by Election Day and received by March 12. Early in-person voting was also available.
California is one of five states on Tuesday holding primaries for the presidential race as well as its state primary. In state and congressional primaries, candidates from all parties are listed on one ballot, and the top two vote-getters advance to the general election. In the presidential primary, Republican voters were required to be registered with their party to vote for its nominee, but Democrats and unaffiliated voters could participate in the Democratic election.
