US elections 2024: Voting is going to take place today for the 47th presidential election in America. In America, voting will start in the evening (November 5) according to Indian time. Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are face to face in these elections. All the surveys conducted so far are showing a close contest between the two candidates. According to experts, there has never been such a close contest in American history.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is running for vice president with Kamala Harris. On the other hand, JD Vance is competing with Donald Trump for the post of Vice President.
What will be the voting time in America?
Voting for the US presidential election will begin in various states between 7 am and 9 am local time. This time will be from 4:30 pm to 9:30 pm Indian time. Most polling stations can remain open from 6 pm to late night. That means, by the time voting ends in America, voting will start in India the next day.
Voting in America may close by 4.30 am Indian time on Wednesday. This time may be longer in many states because US states are divided into many different time zones.
When will the election results come in America?
Counting of votes will start as soon as the voting for the presidential elections in America ends. After the counting is complete, the winner of the popular vote is declared, but not every time the candidate receiving the most popular votes is actually the winner of the presidency. Because in America the President is actually elected not by popular vote but by the Electoral College. Apart from this, sometimes it may also happen that a projected winner is being declared in one state and voting is going on in another state.
Therefore, sometimes it takes a day or two to get accurate results. In most US presidential elections, the winner is announced on voting day or the morning after, but this time there may be a wait due to stiff competition.
