A year that began with the incumbent facing impeachment and the opponent facing a tumultuous primary has come down to this. The race between President Trump and Joseph R. Biden Jr. will come to an end on Tuesday as voters head to the polls across the country. Those casting ballots today join the more than 100 million who did so in the preceding weeks.
The New York Times has assigned a team of more than 50 photographers to capture the scene in 22 states. Check back for updates throughout the day and night.

Election Day Cheer
In spite of a surging pandemic, an economic downturn and a caustic presidential campaign, voters brought enthusiasm to the polls. Some were able to find moments of joy on Election Day.
Casting Ballots
Americans packed into voting booths across the country to cast the remaining ballots of the election season on Tuesday. The early vote alone accounts for more than 70 percent of the turnout from the 2016 election. Follow our live election updates here.
Coronavirus Precautions
Single-use pens, outdoor locations and plenty of sanitizing spray are just some of the hallmarks of voting during the coronavirus pandemic. Polling places have had to make adjustments to prevent spread of the virus, which is climbing to new heights in the United States. Follow our live coronavirus updates here.
Campaigning
The campaign isn’t over until polls are closed. Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden made final visits to supporters on Tuesday. Around the country, candidates for local and national office made their final pitch to voters. See how Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden spent the rest of 2020.
Poll Workers
The pandemic threatened to upend the country’s election infrastructure, which is primarily run by older Americans who serve as clerks and poll workers. This age group is most likely to suffer the worst effects of the coronavirus. Many states recruited a younger generation of poll workers.
Long Lines
Long lines at polling places have been a persistent sight in 2020. During primaries and early voting, some reported waiting many hours to cast ballots. Lines remained on Election Day as the final group of voters surged to the polls.
First to the Polls
Voting in person on Election Day still held a certain appeal for the people lining up early Tuesday — whether because it had become tradition or because they just could not sleep. Read more about the voters who arrived before dawn and other live election updates here.
Vote by Mail
The coronavirus pandemic has made finding an alternative to in-person activities essential. Voting was no exception. Many states expanded access to absentee voting and have since seen record numbers of ballots requested. This influx, however, is setting up for a protracted vote count as some states were not allowed to begin opening or counting the ballots until Tuesday.
Early Voting
Election Day is always the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, but the day circled on the calendar every four years is no longer the singular time when American elections happen.
This year, millions of Americans voted as soon as they could. They sent ballots back in the mail, deposited them into drop boxes, handed them off to municipal clerks or county elections boards, or went to early voting centers. — REID J. EPSTEIN
