Do not expect final results on Election Night.

Election workers have never completed ballot counting on Election Day at any point in the country's history. This year, local and state certification deadlines range from two days to more than a month after Nov. 5.

In recent decades, news outlets have typically called the presidential race late on election night or the morning after, with two notable exceptions. In 2000, a famously close race and legal challenges dragged out the process — things likely to affect this year's cycle. In 2020, a rise in mail-in ballots during the COVID pandemic delayed results.

This year, state laws still in place in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin prohibiting election workers from counting early votes until Election Day are expected to delay results again.
