election results: When can we expect the final outcome?
The United States is just days away from its presidential election, with Kamala Harris and Donald
Trump focusing their campaigns on crucial swing states, where every vote
matters.
As Election Day approaches, we take a closer look at what to expect on
the day itself and how the results may unfold.
When is
the US election?
The
election will be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
When
does the US vote counting begin, and when can we expect the results?
Just hours after the first polls close at 6pm Eastern Time (22:00 GMT),
results are expected to start coming in. However, some states will tally votes more
quickly than others. As polls close several hours later in states to the west,
their first results will only start coming later – when some eastern states
might already have been called for Harris or Trump.
Who’s ahead in the national polls?
According
to FiveThirtyEight’s National Polls tracker, Harris maintains a narrow
national lead of about 1.2 points as of Friday.
What do
we know about the swing states?
Seven swing
states are expected to be key in deciding the presidential race outcome.
These key
states include Pennsylvania (19 Electoral votes), North Carolina (16), Georgia
(16), Michigan (15), Arizona (11), Wisconsin (10), and Nevada (6), collectively
totaling 93 Electoral College votes.
What
happens if there is a tie?
If there is
a 269-269 tie or a third-party candidate wins Electoral votes, preventing any
candidate from reaching 270 votes, the step that follows is known as a
“contingent election”.
A contingent election is the process that takes place when the US House
of Representatives decides the winner.
