It’s just past 21:00 EST (02:00 GMT), and polls are now officially closed in 15 more states including battlegrounds Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin.

More than a dozen states have already been projected. But as we’ve mentioned earlier, it’s still a bit too soon to read into how these results will shape the overall outcome of the election.

In addition to the presidential election, there are interesting Senate races and abortion ballot measures to watch.

In Nebraska, Republican Senator Deb Fischer is running for re-election. But polls have shown she has faced a strong challenge from independent candidate Dan Osborn, a union mechanic who has served in the US Navy and the National Guard.

Arizona has some notable races to watch too. There, Trump-favourite Republican Kari Lake is running for a Senate seat against Representative Ruben Gallego, a progressive. The seat was held by Kyrsten Sinema, an independent who decided not to run for re-election.

On abortion, voters in Arizona will decide whether to amend the state constitution to expand the right to the procedure from the existing 15 weeks to foetal viability, which is around 24 weeks.

Nebraska will also vote on two competing abortion ballot measures – one would enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution until foetal viability, while the other would enshrine the current 12-week abortion ban.
