It's election day in the United States. After months of intense campaigning by Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and her Republican challenger Donald Trump, Americans will head out to vote for their next president.
The first ballots were cast in the minutes after midnight in a tiny New Hampshire township along the US-Canada border.
On the final day of canvassing, Trump and Harris criss-crossed key battleground states and delivered closing remarks. Former president Trump, who is seeking a return to power, held rallies in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Michigan while Harris addressed supporters in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.
At Donald Trump’s final rally, the Republican leader argued that his real opponent was not Kamala Harris but an "evil Democrat system". Harris, meanwhile, did not mention Trump, but ended her 107-day campaign with a pledge to "turn the page on a decade of politics that has been driven by fear and division".
More than 78 million Americans have already cast their votes, according to the University of Florida's Election Lab that tracks early and mail-in voting across the US.
