Key Updates from Election Day

Understanding the Election Process
As Election Day unfolds, many Americans are eager to know when the election results will be announced. Initial results are expected shortly after polls close, but a tight race may lead to delays in final announcements, especially in swing states where margins are narrow enough to require recounts.
When Will Election Results Be Announced?
The name of the candidate with the majority of votes may be declared late on voting day or early the next day. However, the Electoral College will ultimately determine the election winner. With a close race expected, we may not know who won the election until later than usual.
