Americans Vote in Pivotal Presidential Election

Americans Head to the Polls for a Pivotal Election

On Tuesday, millions of Americans will head to the polls for what is shaping up to be one of the most consequential elections in recent history. This election will determine not only the next President of the United States but also all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and a significant portion of the Senate, with one-third of its seats up for grabs.

As the election date approaches, many are eager to know who holds the lead in the race. Are the Democrats poised to retain the White House, or will the Republicans stage a comeback? Additionally, the balance of power in Congress — encompassing both the House and the Senate — hangs in the balance.

To keep you informed, our comprehensive poll tracker compiles the latest data from various presidential polls, offering insights into the evolving political landscape.

Beginning Wednesday at midnight CET, Euronews will provide live election results, ensuring real-time updates on the vote counts for candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, as well as ongoing updates regarding the control of Congress.

Voting will conclude first in states along the East Coast, with six key battleground states closing their polls around 1:00 am CET.

What to Expect on Election Night

On election night, the Associated Press (AP) will be busy counting votes and declaring winners in nearly 7,000 races across the nation. This includes results for pivotal positions such as President, Governor, and various Congressional seats, extending down to local elections.

Typically, the announcement of the election winner occurs on the night of the vote. However, in the unprecedented election of 2020, it took several days to finalize the tally of ballots, highlighting the complexities involved in the voting process.

According to the early-vote tracker, over 65 million Americans have already cast their ballots, either in person or by mail. Due to differing regulations on vote processing from state to state, it may take several days before we know whether Trump or Harris will be declared the next president-elect.
