★ From 7:00 PM Beijing Time, November 5 (6:00 AM Eastern Time, November 5): Voting stations across most states in the U.S. will gradually open, especially those on the East Coast, marking the start of the election.
★ 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM Beijing Time, November 6 (7:00 PM - 10:00 PM Eastern Time, November 5): Voting stations in various states will begin to close, followed by the start of ballot counting procedures. The voting stations in the 7 battleground states that will have a decisive impact on the election results will also close within this timeframe, with Georgia and North Carolina being the states that may have preliminary results the fastest. Media organizations will begin reporting and predicting winners in certain states based on the counting results.
★ After 12:00 PM Beijing Time, November 6 (after 11:00 PM Eastern Time, November 5): As more states’ counting results are released, the national election results will gradually become clearer. However, if the election situation remains tight, it may take longer to wait.
