Voting for the 2020 US presidential election has begun.
Current US President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden are vying for the 46th presidency of the United States, while Kamala Harris and Mike Pence are running for vice president.
Ninety-five million registered voters in the United States have so far exercised their voting right by early voting, while the president is elected by popular vote.
Any candidate for the presidency of the United States needs the support of 270 or more electors out of 538.
In the United States, the winning candidate carries out a number of important tasks over a three-month period, including appointments to government positions and the formation of a cabinet, until the swearing-in ceremony on January 20.
The period from polling day in the first week of November to the swearing in on January 20 is called the 'transition period'.
Between this year's election and the swearing-in, the winning candidate will receive 78 days, or about 11 weeks, but the results may be delayed in the event of a postal vote count or a dispute.
