Election polls in the U.S. will start closing Tuesday at 6 p.m. Eastern and will continue until 1 a.m.

Here’s a complete list of closing times and a detailed analysis of what to look for as polls close in every state. nyti.ms/3jXHc1g

The keywords for this election are patience and caution.

With so many people voting by mail, don’t expect states to be called quickly.

And beware of partial results from places like Pennsylvania and Florida, which may be misleading.

6 p.m. Eastern

President Trump is expected to win both Indiana and Kentucky, and Senator Mitch McConnell is expected to win re-election in Kentucky. If his challenger, Amy McGrath, makes it competitive, it could be a very bad night for Republicans.

Voted but didn't get a sticker? We've got you covered.

For many, "I Voted" stickers are a central, tangible representation of civic engagement, one that they can wear in selfies or on the street to galvanize others to vote. nyti.ms/32aH8VR

With more people voting by mail than ever before because of the pandemic, filling out ballots from beds and kitchen tables, many have not received a civic duty souvenir. nyti.ms/32aH8VR

Rapid coronavirus tests that deliver results in minutes are becoming more widely available in the U.S.

But officials warn that the inconsistent public reporting of them is leading to the undercounting of cases and blurring the virus’s spread. nyti.ms/37ZXDrw

Antigen tests are faster than polymerase chain reaction (P.C.R.) tests, but are less able to detect low levels of the virus.

Antigen tests can help limit the spread of the virus, but as more of them become available, the undercounting could send the wrong message.

Washington, D.C., and seven states don’t publicly share case counts for those with antigen positive tests, including California, New Jersey and Texas.

Another six keep them separate from their total counts, and most of these report them less frequently. nyti.ms/3oPQVdF

Four years ago, Donald Trump won the presidency after making a series of concrete promises to his supporters. Here’s a look at how President Trump has fared on some of his signature promises. nyti.ms/2HXy5AE

Build a Wall and Make Mexico Pay for It: The Trump administration had constructed 371 miles of border barriers, as of Oct. 16. However, all but 16 miles of the new barriers replace or reinforce existing structures. And Mexico is not paying for it. nyti.ms/3jKPb1x

Appoint Conservative Justices: With three Supreme Court Justices and 25% of the federal judiciary now made up of Trump appointees, according to data, the president has been more successful on this campaign promise than perhaps any other. nyti.ms/3jKPb1x

Six states are critical to whether President Trump wins re-election.

They were key to his victory in 2016 and are battlegrounds in 2020.

But within them, 20 counties may be decisive.

Here's a look at the battlegrounds within the battlegrounds. nyti.ms/3oLruKe

The road to 270 electoral votes may run through Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

In all of them are voters both candidates are seeking. In all, there are county-level battles that will decide who wins. nyti.ms/3oLruKe

One of the states is Florida, diverse but conservative-leaning, and almost always close in presidential elections. It’s likely to be decided by one or two percentage points again this year.

Here's where, exactly, the winner may be decided.
