MNI POLITICAL RISK ANALYSIS-US Election Viewing Guide-UPDATE

How to watch the election results come in, with key timings and counties to look out for.

In this article, we provide an estimated timetable of events for the US general election taking place on Tuesday 5 November as ballots are counted. As well as a guide of what times various states may call their results, we also provide analysis on key counties to watch in swing states that are likely to give the best indication as to the direction the presidency is heading in. 

All timings in this article are subject to change and given the increased amount of mail-in and early voting in recent election cycles, the tabulation process may take longer. Moreover, the heightened political tensions around the legitimacy of the ballot in certain states means election calls may be more prone to challenges, further exacerbating the wait.
