The Trumps cast ballot

Republican candidate Donald Trump cast his vote at the Midtown Manhattan precinct, along with his spouse Melania Trump. “Very good – everything’s very good,” Trump said. “It’s just very good, generally speaking,” he said after being asked about what his campaign has heard about the early returns from battleground states.

Clinton casts her vote in New York

Hillary Clinton and husband Bill voted at a local elementary school near their home in Chappaqua, New York. The Democratic nominee told reporters the event was “humbling”.06:30pm BD time

17 states in total now open and voting

Polls opened in Florida, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina and part of Tennessee 30 mins ago.

East-Coast polling booths close and counting begins

All eyes will be on the key battleground state of Virginia (13 electoral votes), which voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 but was previously solid Republican. If Donald Trump is victorious here, or if it's a close win for Hillary Clinton, it could portend a very long, stressful night for the Democrats.

Georgia (16) is another one to watch. The state has voted Republican since 1996, but the party's margin of victory has eroded in recent elections. Also expect projections from Indiana (11), home to Trump running mate Mike Pence, Kentucky (8), South Carolina (9) and Vermont (3).
