The 2016 presidential race is coming to an end on Tuesday as millions of Americans head to the polls across the country in what has been one of the wildest elections in U.S. history.
The winning candidate will need to secure 270 electoral votes out of a possible 538 votes in the electoral college to become the 45th president.
Hillary Clinton, who could become the first female president if elected, holds a slight lead over GOP candidate Donald Trump, according to multiple polls leading up to Tuesday. Also on the presidential ballot are independent candidates Gary Johnson (Libertarian) and Jill Stein (Green Party).
The first results are expected at 3 p.m. PT/6 p.m. ET on Tuesday when polls start to close in Indiana. At 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET, polling stations will close in Florida, Georgia, Indiana (complete), New Hampshire, South Carolina and Virginia.
