The highly anticipated 2024 US Presidential Election is set to begin on Tuesday, November 5th. Americans will be casting their ballots in a tight race between Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican candidate, former President Donald Trump.

Polls indicate a close contest, with voters expected to head to the polls between 6 am and 8 pm EST (4:30 pm to 6 am IST). Swing states like Pennsylvania, Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin will be crucial in determining the outcome of the election.

Exit polls will begin at 5 PM EST (2:30 AM IST) on November 6th, providing early insights into voter sentiment. The ballot counting will begin shortly after, with results expected throughout the evening and into the early hours of November 6th.

Harris, if successful, will become the first woman and first person of Indian descent to serve as President of the United States. Trump, meanwhile, is seeking a historic return to the White House after losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden.
