Voting for the 2024 US presidential election has begun in the US Eastern time zone. New Hampshire was the first state to start voting at 6 a.m. local time (4:30 p.m. IST). Dixville Notch, a small town in New Hampshire, became the first place in the country to begin voting.
Voting nationwide begins at 6 a.m. local time. The United States is divided into different time zones, so the eastern part of the country will vote first. At 6:00 a.m. local time (4:30 p.m. Indian time), eight states in the Eastern Time Zone (ET) began voting. These include Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, New Hampshire, and Virginia.
This is the last chance for Americans to vote in the 2024 presidential election, which is a fierce battle between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris, and the outcome remains uncertain. It will be.
More than 82 million people have already used early voting to vote for Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Kamala Harris.
The contest witnessed two assassination attempts on President Trump, Joe Biden’s sudden withdrawal and Harris’ rapid rise, but billions of dollars in spending and months of frenzied campaigning. Even after that, the situation remained unreachable.
According to polls, candidates were running close races in the final days of the campaign in each of the seven states likely to decide the winner: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
If the margins in key states remain as expected, the winner may not be known for days.
