List of the US states and territories won by the five main Republican and Democratic presidential candidates in the 2016 White House nomination contests held since February 1:

- DEMOCRATIC PARTY -

Forty-four contests have been held to date, including the Indiana primary on Tuesday.

A total of 2,383 delegates are needed to secure the party's presidential nomination, including the so-called "super-delegates," who have the right to vote for whomever they choose at the nominating convention in July.

Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton has a commanding advantage over Senator Bernie Sanders on the super-delegate front.

Hillary Clinton (2,217 delegates)

Breakdown of delegates: 1,704 pledged after state races, plus 513 super-delegates
