Donald Trump has won the Arizona primary, taking another step in his bid to secure the Republican presidential nomination.
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton also claimed victory in the Copper State, putting even more distance on her rival Bernie Sanders.
Long lines were reported across the state, with some voters waiting nearly three hours to cast their ballot.
Mr Trump was heavily favoured to win the primary in the southern border state, where anti-illegal immigration sentiment runs high.
The victory gave the Republican front runner another 58 delegates, padding his growing lead over Ted Cruz and John Kasich.
Both are trying to stop the brash billionaire from reaching the 1,237 delegates needed to secure the nomination. The win in Arizona put the former reality TV star at 739.
Republicans are also holding a caucus in Utah on Tuesday, where 40 delegates are at stake.
Mrs Clinton, meanwhile, added 75 delegates from Arizona to her already massive lead over Mr Sanders.
Democrats are also holding caucuses in Utah and Idaho.
