More than 82 million Americans have already voted in the 2024 general election, according to data collected by the UF Election Lab. Millions more will add their ballots to the mix as polls open across the country on Tuesday.
Here’s a rundown of everything voters should know:

Every state and territory—except North Dakota—requires voter registration. Voters can verify their registration status here.
Many states also require voters to present some form of identification to vote. A list of state requirements can be found here.
Polls close at different times, depending on the state. The Epoch Times has compiled a schedule.
Former President Donald Trump will vote in the morning at his local polling location in Palm Beach, Florida. His election watch party will be held at the Palm Beach Convention Center.
Vice President Kamala Harris has already voted by mail. She will hold her watch party at Howard University, her alma mater, in Washington.
A day before the election, RealClearPolling averages showed the race as a dead heat.
The Epoch Times website will track election results in real time from 6 p.m. Eastern.
