United States - Tens of millions of Americans will cast their votes on Tuesday, November 5 to choose their next president between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
The time voting will close varies according to the states and cities across the United States of America (USA).

16 states, including Pennsylvania, will end voting at 8pm ET. Whoever wins Pennsylvania’s 19 electoral votes is much more likely to win the White.

This will be the do-or-die moment for the Democrat and Harris as voting fully closes at 9 p.m. ET in 15 states, including Michigan and Wisconsin.
