Election Day is now here.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Nov. 5 the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and former President Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a> comes to a close, and the final votes will be cast.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s everything you need to know to ensure your vote is counted, along with more information below.<\/p>\n Anyone who has already registered to vote in past elections does not need to re-register every year, unless there is a change in name, address, or political affiliation.<\/p>\n Each state\u2019s voter registration update or re-registration deadline can be found on the respective Board of Elections website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Voters can typically find their designated polling locations in public buildings such as schools, community centers, churches, or municipal buildings. These locations are determined by their residential address and can be found by visiting their state or county election office website, as well as through Vote.org<\/a> or the U.S. Election Assistance Commission website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Nearly 78 million people have already cast their votes, and in all states except Illinois, Missouri, and Wyoming, voters can check the status of their ballots online.<\/p>\n For those who voted using a mail-in or absentee ballot, many states offer online databases where citizens can input personal information, such as their name, date of birth, and zip code, to check if their ballot has been counted.<\/p>\n You can click on the 47 states plus D.C. below to check the status of your mail-in ballot: Alabama<\/a>,\u00a0Alaska<\/a>,\u00a0Arizona<\/a>,\u00a0Arkansas<\/a>,\u00a0California<\/a>,\u00a0Colorado<\/a>,\u00a0Connecticut<\/a>,\u00a0Delaware<\/a>,\u00a0District of Columbia<\/a>, Florida<\/a>, Georgia<\/a>, Hawaii<\/a>, Idaho<\/a>, Indiana<\/a>, Iowa<\/a>, Kansas<\/a>, Kentucky<\/a>, Louisiana<\/a>, Maine<\/a>, Maryland<\/a>, Massachusetts<\/a>, Michigan<\/a>, Minnesota<\/a>, Mississippi<\/a>, Montana<\/a>,\u00a0Nebraska<\/a>, Nevada<\/a>, New Hampshire<\/a>, New Jersey<\/a>, New Mexico<\/a>, New York<\/a>, North Carolina<\/a>, North Dakota<\/a>, Ohio<\/a>, Oklahoma<\/a>, Oregon<\/a>, Pennsylvania<\/a>,\u00a0Rhode Island<\/a>,\u00a0South Carolina<\/a>,\u00a0South Dakota<\/a>, Tennessee<\/a>, Texas<\/a>, Utah<\/a>, Vermont<\/a>, Virginia<\/a>, Washington<\/a>, West Virginia<\/a>, and Wisconsin<\/a>.<\/p>\n After polling officially ends, the tallies across states will come in at different paces, and because the race is so tight, counting could continue well past Election Night.<\/p>\n In 2020, it took until Saturday (November 7) for networks to project a winner in the presidential race, following Election Day on Tuesday (November 3).<\/p>\n Trump and Harris are in a tight race across seven key battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, with candidates frequently alternating their lead based on the latest polls.<\/p>\n A recent New York Times<\/em>\/Siena poll, released on Sunday, shows Harris pulling ahead of Trump in North Carolina and Wisconsin. Trump continues to lead in Arizona, while the candidates are effectively tied in Pennsylvania, each receiving 48 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n \n\t\t<\/div>\nHow to Make Sure You\u2019re Registered to Vote<\/h2>\n
