With Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump going head-to-head, the 2024 presidential election is the closest race the nation has seen in more than 60 years.

The winner of the race will be determined not by the popular vote, but by the Electoral College. A candidate will need 270 electoral votes to secure the presidency.

There are seven battleground states, including Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada.

In 2016, six of the seven states voted for Donald Trump. In 2020, six of the seven states voted for Joe Biden.

Each state has different rules for how and when they count ballots. For example, in Florida, election officials have already tabulated the ballots that early voters have already turned in. In Pennsylvania, officials must wait until Tuesday to even open mail-in ballots. In Georgia, all early votes must be counted and reported by 8 p.m. on election night.
