| A voter's view: actor with an eye on the supreme court | |
| Rory Carroll | |
| [Note: Throughout the day Guardian reporters have been interviewing voters about how they made up their minds. You can find a selection of these interviews on our earlier live blog.] | |
| Cristina Gerla, 26, an actor in Los Angeles, California, said she voted for Hillary Clinton: | |
| Whoever will be the next president will be filling at least one supreme court seat. That will have repercussions on my life because I’m only 26. The court will be deciding on things like rights over a woman’s body, accessibility to health care, sex education in schools and gay rights. We need to protect those rights and allow them to grow. | |

| Polling closure times | |
| Both parties are hosting contests in five states today, and there’s an extra Democratic caucus playing out in North Dakota*. | |
| New Jersey (126 Democratic delegates, 51 GOP) polling stations close at 8pm ET. | |
| The final polling stations in North Dakota (18 Democratic delegates) and South Dakota (20 Democratic delegates, 29 GOP) close at 9pm ET. | |
| New Mexico (34 Democratic delegates, 24 GOP) polling stations close at 9pm ET. | |
| Montana (21 Democratic delegates, 27 GOP) polling stations close at 10pm ET. | |
| California (475 Democratic delegates, 172 GOP) polling stations close at 11pm ET. | |
| Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are expected to address supporters sometime after the New Jersey polls close (9pm ET? Later?). Trump is in Westchester, New York, and Clinton is in Brooklyn, New York. | |
| Bernie Sanders is expected to address supporters much later, after the California polls close. | |
| Our results maps atop the blog there will begin filling in automatically as precincts report. There are no exit polls this evening, meaning no snap demographic breakdown as polls close. | |
| The AP reports on how quickly the results were reported in these states last year: | |
| In 2012, here’s how the vote count looked an hour after each state’s polls closed: New Jersey, about 10 percent; New Mexico, 26 percent; South Dakota, 65 percent; Montana, 20 percent; California, 40 percent. | |
| *North Dakota is holding only a Democratic caucus. “The AP vote count there will be the presidential preferences of the 394 people elected to attend the state delegate selection meeting.” | |

| Hello and welcome to our live-wire coverage of the last big voting night of the long primary season. An estimated 5 million voters in California have already mailed in their ballots, as voters from New Jersey to New Mexico make their way to the polls to help pick the next president. | Hello and welcome to our live-wire coverage of the last big voting night of the long primary season.

| It is appropriate to this primary season, perhaps, that the suspense of who will win the final states appears to have overshot the actual “results”, if that word can be applied to a mere cumulative tally of delegates and votes. | It is appropriate to this primary season, perhaps, that the suspense of who will win the final states appears to have overshot the actual “results”, if that word can be applied to a mere cumulative tally of delegates and votes. |
| Hillary Clinton has amassed a majority of Democratic delegates, including superdelegates, while Donald Trump has performed a parallel feat on the Republican side. | Hillary Clinton has amassed a majority of Democratic delegates, including superdelegates, while Donald Trump has performed a parallel feat on the Republican side. |
| And yet the race, for at least one more night, and perhaps many more, goes on. Clinton is running against Vermont senator Bernie Sanders, who correctly points out that the Democrats’ 719 superdelegates will decide the contest, and who says he can convince hundreds of them to switch from Clinton to him, while admitting that the number he’s persuaded so far is zero. | And yet the race, for at least one more night, and perhaps many more, goes on.

| Can it be said, on the Republican side, that Trump is running against himself? Trump’s caustic comments about the judge presiding over cases against his Trump University – “textbook” racist comments, House speaker Paul Ryan called them – have reignited whispers in Republican circles about whether there might not be some way for the party to avoid nominating the candidate who has won more than twice as many delegates as his nearest contender, so far. | Can it be said, on the Republican side, that Trump is running against himself?

| We propose this blog as your one-stop shop for results from tonight’s contests immediately as they are available, for reporting from inside the candidates’ parties – victory and otherwise – and for all the analysis and color you desire. Lauren Gambino and Jill Abramson will be with Hillary Clinton in Brooklyn, Amber Jamieson will be watching Donald Trump upstate in Westchester, while across the other side of the country Nicky Woolf will be with Bernie Sanders in Santa Monica. | We propose this blog as your one-stop shop for results from tonight’s contests immediately as they are available, for reporting from inside the candidates’ parties – victory and otherwise – and for all the analysis and color you desire.

| Whatever else happens, the night may come back to Clinton, who is on the verge of firming up her status as the first woman in US history to be nominated for president by a major political party. If she snags just 31% of the available pledged delegates tonight – well below her average – she will have won a majority of those bound delegates, in addition to claiming a majority of delegates overall. | |
| [“Delegates overall includes superdelegates, senior party officials not bound by any state results. Read more on this from Guardian US data editor Mona Chalabi here.] | |
| Should Sanders pull off victory, however, in California, where he has been campaigning for weeks and which has a whopping 475 delegates to give, Clinton’s overall victory – should it hold – is likely to be soured by party dislocation and an ongoing fight. | Should Sanders pull off victory, however, in California, where he has been campaigning for weeks and which has a whopping 475 delegates to give, Clinton’s overall victory – should it hold – is likely to be soured by party dislocation and an ongoing fight. |
