This Tuesday, November 5, tens of millions of Americans will slip their ballot into the box, on the occasion of the 2024 American presidential election. Here is what time the first trends concerning the identity of the elected official who will settle in the White House will be known in France.
The time for the verdict in the American presidential election is approaching. This Tuesday, November 5, 2024, several tens of millions of Americans will go to the polls to choose between the Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris, and the Republican candidate, Donald Trump.
The result of the vote may not be known for several hours… or even days. The fault lies in a complex vote counting and counting system.
Polling stations open until 1 a.m. (7 a.m. in France)
The closing time of polling stations differs from one state to another (time zones require). The first polling stations will close their doors at 6 p.m. local time (midnight in France), while some will remain open until 1 a.m. (7 a.m. in France).
The first estimates should therefore be known in France on Wednesday November 6 around 5 a.m., when the majority of offices will have closed.
Note that in some states, postal votes are only counted at the same time as the ballots cast in the ballot boxes on election day, which extends the counting time.
According to the latest figures, more than 78 million American voters have already cast their ballots.
