Multiple polls close across the US for the 2024 presidential election

·

Voting for the US presidential election has now closed in copious pivotal swing states, which could make all the difference between who reaches the 270 electoral votes necessary to come out on top.

Pennsylvania polls has closed with early indications suggesting a tight race in the state, which is expected to play a major role in determining the outcome of the election.

North Carolina’s polls have also closed, while some polling stations in Michigan have also now closed, marking the final moments of voting in several key battleground states.

As of midday AEDT, polls have closed in 16 states, along with Washington, DC. This marks a significant moment in the election, with results from these areas expected in the coming hours.

Polls also closed in Georgia, a state that has become increasingly competitive in recent years. With this, four of the seven crucial battleground states have now wrapped up voting, leaving just three to go.

At present, several states that were expected to lean in favour of one party or the other have already been called. However, results from the battleground states are still to come, and voters in these regions remain crucial in the race for the White House.

As counting continues, all eyes are now on the final swing states, with both sides anxiously awaiting the results that will shape the direction of the election.

The total of current electoral votes for Donald Trump stands at 214, with 179 for Kamala Harris.
