How will US election day take place? | News from the 2024 US elections

Millions of Americans will head to the polls on Tuesday to vote in the 2024 presidential election, in which Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and her Republican rival, Donald Trump, are locked in a tight race.

There are 230 million eligible voters, but only about 160 million of them are registered. Nearly half of the 50 states in the United States, however, allow same-day registration, while citizens can vote without registering in North Dakota.

More than 70 million people have already voted by mail or at in-person early voting locations.

Voters will also elect 34 U.S. senators (out of 100) and all 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Additionally, gubernatorial races will be held in 11 states and two territories (Puerto Rico and American Samoa).

The United States spans six time zones. In US East Coast Time (ET), voting will begin as early as 5 a.m. (10:00 GMT) on Tuesday and continue until 1:00 a.m. (06:00 GMT) on Wednesday.

But U.S. support for Israel's war on Gaza could cause a significant number of Arab American voters in the state to turn to Trump or the Green Party's Jill Stein.

Wisconsin has also historically gone blue, which has been the case in every election from 1988 to 2020 except 2016, when Trump beat Clinton by 0.7 percentage points. In 2020, Biden won the state by 0.7 percentage points.
