US election results expected after polls close on November 5

Americans will vote on November 5 for either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. The election result will be declared when a candidate secures 270 electoral votes. Results will start coming in after polls close at 6 PM ET, but delays are expected. States like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin can only process some ballots on election day, which may prolong the announcement of the winner. In 2020, results took several days due to mail-in ballots. Key swing states like Nevada, North Carolina, and Georgia delayed their results, with Georgia taking 19 days to declare a winner.
