American voters are going to the polls on Tuesday to choose their next president.
US election results are sometimes declared state-by-state within hours of the polls closing - meaning that we get a running tally as we go - but this year's tight contest could mean a longer wait.
When is the 2024 presidential election result expected?
The first polls close at 18:00 EST (23:00 GMT) on Tuesday evening and the last at 01:00 EST (06:00 GMT) early on Wednesday.
In some presidential races, the victor has been named late on election night, or early the next morning.
This time, the knife-edge race in many states could mean media outlets wait longer before projecting who has won.
Democratic Vice-President Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump, the former president, have been running neck-and-neck for weeks.
Narrow victories could also mean recounts.
In the key swing state of Pennsylvania, for example, a recount would be required if there’s a half-percentage-point difference between the votes cast for the winner and loser. In 2020, the margin was just over 1.1 percentage points.
