2024 US elections: As counting continues, here’s when will we know the final results

The other five key swing states—Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—have already been secured by Trump, contributing to a total of 93 electoral votes among these seven pivotal states. As per Fox News, it may take 12-13 days for the final votes to be tallied.

Arizona: A closer look
Voting by mail is extremely popular in Arizona; nearly 90% of voters cast their ballots early, most by mail, in 2020. Election officials in Arizona can begin processing and tabulating mail ballots upon receipt, but results cannot be released until one hour after polls close.

Any mail ballots dropped off on Election Day itself cannot be processed until the polls have closed. This can often result in a sizable number of ballots being counted later— in 2022, those “late early” votes comprised one-fifth of all ballots in Maricopa County, the state’s largest.

Nevada’s Counting Process
Nevada’s slow vote counting in 2020—where news outlets did not call the state for Biden until five days after Election Day—led to numerous memes and frustrations. However, officials assert that changes made since then should expedite the process.

Counties are now permitted to begin processing and counting mail ballots as early as October 21. Additionally, workers can start tabulating early in-person votes at 8 a.m. PT on Election Day, rather than waiting until polls close.

Despite these improvements, Nevada may still experience delays. The state is unique among battlegrounds in that it accepts late-arriving mail ballots. Any ballot postmarked by November 5 will still be counted if it arrives within four days. Historically, these late ballots tend to favor Democrats, suggesting a potential shift toward Harris as votes are counted post-Election Day.
