US election results 2024 date and time: The close contest between Republican Donald Trump and his democrat opponent Kamla Harris will begin in a few hours as the US votes in the 60th Presdential election on November 5.


Washington: The United States is scheduled to hold its presidential election on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, promising a high-stakes contest between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. This election has already attracted global attention, with both campaigns intensifying their efforts, especially in key battleground states. As polling approaches, this election is poised to represent another significant turning point in American politics.

The tradition of holding federal elections on the first Tuesday in November dates back to 1845. This decision was made by Congress when the United States was largely an agrarian society. By scheduling elections after the autumn harvest, farmers could more easily travel to polling stations, which were often located far from their homes. This timing and tradition have remained unchanged since then.

In recent years, however, this practice has faced criticism, as Election Day is not a federal holiday in the US. Nonetheless, several states have passed laws mandating that employees be given a few hours off to vote.

When will US election results be declared

The counting of votes will take simultaneously with polling and results are expected to come in different states begin counting. The polling is scheduled to take place at around 4.30 pm (IST) and the results are likely to start coming in shortly after. If either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump gains a clear majority, the results will clear late Tuesday night but may see a delay in case vote counting doesn’t give a majority to either of the US presidential candidates.

Kamala Harris eyeing scripting history

In the 2020 election, then-Senator Kamala Harris joined Joe Biden’s campaign as the first Black and South Asian woman to be nominated for vice president by a major national party. Her eventual victory represented a historic achievement, marking the first time a woman of colour held the vice presidential office. Now, as the Democratic nominee for the presidency, she has the opportunity to make history again by potentially becoming the first female president of the United States and the first woman of colour to hold that office.

Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, a selection that could bolster her campaign’s appeal to voters in key Midwestern states.
