– AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL 2024: find all our articles
The latest polls show very close gaps between the two finalists and the outcome is very uncertain. Remember that the American presidential election is based on a complex system of indirect voting. Citizens elect electors, who then meet in the Electoral College to officially choose the president.
270 voters needed to win
The candidate must obtain at least 270 of the 538 electoral votes to win. Most states apply the “winner-take-all” rule, where the majority candidate wins all the electors. The count takes place state by state, with particular attention paid to “swing states”, likely to swing the outcome of the election, making the results uncertain until the end of the count. For this 2024 election, six states (North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin) will be particularly watched, with Arizona ultimately winning for Trump according to observers.
