Hello and welcome along to this MARCA in English live blog on the 2024 United States presidential election which sees Donald Trump and Kamala Harris go head-to-head over who will become the 47th president of the nation.
Vice president Harris was thrust into the presidential race after the Democrats finally admitted that president Joe Biden was not fit to run for office, while Trump is looking to regain the presidency that he so narrowly lost four years ago.
In 2020, it took four days after voting closed for Biden to be named as the winner, amid plenty of controversy, so we’re hoping that the victor will be announced as soon as possible after votes are counted.

When do polls open in each state on Election Day?
If you want a more global answer, polls open in the US as early as 5 a.m. ET in states like Vermont on Tuesday, and the lasting polls close at 1 a.m. ET in Alaska on Wednesday.
Note that Oregon is a vote-by-mail state, so there are no in-person polling locations. Other states don’t have a uniform statewide start time. In New Hampshire, Tennessee and Washington, polls are open depending on your county or municipality. An in others, there’s a window of time in which polling is supposed to start. In North Dakota that’s 7-9 a.m. and in Vermont 5-10 a.m.
