Here’s what to watch for and when to watch for it.
It has been one year, seven months, and sixteen days since the first major candidate announced his run for president, plunging us all into this eternal, stressful, and surreal campaign season. Today*, it ends.
*Election ending today not guaranteed. 😬

Here's what you need to know about voting
- Use our guide to find your polling place and any requirements. Thirteen states — Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, New York, and Virginia — don't have early voting, and most of those people will hit the voting booths for the first time today.
- Important: Here are the rules for voting booth selfies. (It's illegal in 18 states! That's Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.)
- And here's a neat gizmo BuzzFeed News made to determine if your county can predict the election outcome. 🔮

The map. The Electoral College. Choose your own adventure.
BuzzFeed News is doing something a bit unconventional this year: We're being upfront about the states that Trump and Clinton are expected to win based on voting history and polling. A candidate needs 270 Electoral College votes to win — the above map pretty much shows where they're starting.
From there, check out this interactive map, which will let you play around and see each candidate's path to 270.
BuzzFeed News will be watching a few of the all-important swing states tonight, but these four will be key to the evening: Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. If Clinton takes Florida, she'll likely be in very good shape. If Trump wins, that's a good indicator we'll have a close race.
