Voting is currently underway in one of the most consequential US elections in memory, and Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are neck-and-neck in the polls.

The outcome in seven battleground states - Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin - is key.

See how each state swings as the ballots get tallied in real-time.

Arizona

Arizona’s polls have closed and Donald Trump has a narrow lead with 53 per cent of the vote counted. This is one of the “Sun Belt” seats that will likely play a key role in this election. Joe Biden won Arizona in 2020, but Donald Trump won it in 2016.

Georgia

Georgia was the first major swing state to close its polls on election night and is currently very likely to go towards Trump, with 90 per cent of the vote counted. Joe Biden won Georgia in 2020, but Donald Trump won it in 2016.

Michigan

Michigan’s polls have closed, and the current tally is leaning towards Donald Trump, with 25 per cent of the votes counted. Joe Biden won Michigan in 2020, but Donald Trump won it in 2016.

Nevada

Nevada’s polls closed 2pm AEDT, and while considered a swing state this election, it has been favourable to the Democrats in recent elections. It was won by Hillary Clinton in 2016, and Joe Biden in 2020.

North Carolina

North Carolina’s polling has closed and with 85 per cent of the vote counted, Donald Trump has a strong lead. The state was won by Trump in both 2016 and 2020.

Pennsylvania

Counting in Pennsylvania has closed, and the state currently remains close with just over 61 per cent of the vote counted. Pennsylvania has been widely regarded as the most important swing state in this election because it holds 19 electoral votes. In 2016 Pennsylvania was won by Donald Trump, but Joe Biden won it back for the Democrats in 2020.

Wisconsin

Wisconsin’s polls have closed and, with 57 per cent of the vote counted, Donald Trump is in the lead. Wisconsin was won by Donald Trump in 2016, and Joe Biden in 2020.
