Just before the 2024 US presidential election - November 5, more than 77 million voters participated in early voting, either in person or by mail.

In just a few hours, the final votes in the 2024 presidential election will be cast to choose between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump as the next four-year leader of the United States. Donald Trump will likely spend the first hours of the 2024 US presidential election in Michigan, according to AP. There, he plans to hold a rally from midnight to dawn in Grand Rapids. The Republican candidate plans to spend the rest of the day in Florida. He plans to vote in person in Florida, despite previously declaring that he would vote early. The former US president also plans to hold an election day watch party in Palm Beach on the evening of November 5. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris plans to attend an election event at Howard University in Washington, the historically black college where she earned a degree in economics and political science in 1986 and is an active member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. Outside of Howard University, Kamala Harris has no public schedule for Election Day. On November 3, the US Vice President said he had just filled out his mail-in ballot for the US president and that it was "on its way to California". According to the AP, more than 77 million voters have participated in early voting, either in person or by mail. Early voter turnout was high in this year's US presidential election.

She will also be the first woman of color and the first person of South Asian descent to hold the position. Election Day is now often considered election week because each state has its own rules and practices for counting votes, not to mention legal challenges that can delay the results. In fact, no one knows how long it will take to declare the winner of the 2024 US presidential election. In the 2020 election, the AP determined that Mr. Joe Biden was the winner four days after Election Day. In fact, 10 days after Election Day, AP declared Mr. Trump the winner in North Carolina and 16 days after Election Day, Mr. Biden was declared the winner in Georgia after the manual vote count was completed. Four years earlier, the results of the 2016 US presidential election were determined just hours after most of the votes had ended. At that time, AP declared Mr. Trump the winner at 2:29 a.m. the day after Election Day. In the 2024 US presidential election, experts say that, if there are no sudden changes, the 7 battleground states that will decide the outcome of this year's US presidential election include Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. However, the size of the states and the difference in the support rate between the 2 candidates in US election polls before Election Day mean that the time to announce the winner will be very difficult to predict.
