Elections: everything you need to know to ensure your vote is counted
4 november 2024 в 21:37
Election day has arrived.
On Tuesday, November 5, the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is coming to an end, and the final votes will be cast.
Here’s everything you need to know to ensure that your vote is counted, as well as additional information below.
Anyone who is already registered to vote in previous elections does not need to re-register every year unless there have been changes in name, address, or political affiliation.
The deadline for updating or re-registering voters in each state can be found on the respective website of the electoral commission.
Voters can usually find their polling places in public buildings such as schools, community centers, churches, or municipal buildings. These locations are determined by their residential address and can be found on the website of their state or county electoral office, as well as through Vote.org or the U.S. Election Commission website.
Nearly 78 million people have already cast their votes, and in all states except Illinois, Missouri, and Wyoming, voters can check the status of their ballots online.
For those who voted by mail or by proxy, many states offer online databases where citizens can enter personal information such as name, date of birth, and zip code to check if their ballot has been counted.
After the official end of voting, results by state will come in at different speeds, and due to the intense race, counts may continue well beyond election night.
In 2020, networks projected the winner of the presidential race only on Saturday (November 7), after the election on Tuesday (November 3).
Trump and Harris are in a tight race in seven key battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, with candidates often changing their lead based on the latest polls.
A recent New York Times/Siena poll, published on Sunday, shows Harris pulling ahead of Trump in North Carolina and Wisconsin. Trump continues to lead in Arizona, while the candidates are actually tied in Pennsylvania, each receiving 48 percent of the vote
