Primaries and caucuses are crucial in determining the presidential nominees.

US Elections 2024 Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump Latest News Today: Americans are heading to the polls today to cast their votes in the fiercely contested 2024 presidential election, where Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican rival Donald Trump are neck-and-neck.

This marks the 60th presidential election in U.S. history. Out of 230 million eligible voters, approximately 160 million are registered, with over 70 million having already voted via postal ballots or early in-person polling.

Key Facts About the Presidential Election:

Eligibility:

To qualify as a presidential candidate, individuals must meet three constitutional criteria: they must be natural-born U.S. citizens, at least 35 years old, and residents of the United States for 14 years. Once a candidate raises or spends more than $5,000, they are required to register with the Federal Election Commission, appointing a principal campaign committee to handle campaign funds.

Primaries and Caucuses:

Primaries and caucuses are crucial in determining the presidential nominees. Most states conduct primaries six to nine months prior to the election, where voters cast secret ballots to select their preferred candidates. The results influence the allocation of delegates to the candidates.

In contrast, caucuses, which political parties organize, take place at the local level and involve more interactive methods of selecting candidates. Participants may vote by secret ballot or openly align with candidate groups. Delegates are awarded based on the caucus outcomes.

As the nation watches closely, the results of today’s election will shape the political landscape of the United States for the coming years.
