On the final day Americans cast their votes, the US presidential election remains tighter than ever. Success for either candidate depends on their ability to win over undecided voters in swing states — a diverse group with varied backgrounds, concerns, and voting histories. How have Kamala Harris and Donald Trump been trying to convince them? And which states lie in their path to victory and the White House? Lucy Hockings speaks to the BBC’s senior North America correspondent Gary O’Donoghue and digital reporter Ana Faguy, who tell us which of the early results might give an indication of who's in the lead.

It's election day in the United States, and after months of highly charged campaigning, a divided nation is heading to the polls in what has become one of the closest races in recent history.
So as the climax approaches, we're looking at the questions which still need to be answered.
Will undecided voters turn out?
Where might key swing states land?
And how long will it take to get a result?
