Election officials outline timeline for U.S. election results across states

Election results in the U.S. will take longer to determine this year, extending beyond election night. States have varying rules and processes for counting votes, especially for mail-in ballots, which can delay results. In Georgia and North Carolina, counting is expected to be relatively fast, with most votes reported by midnight. However, Pennsylvania and Arizona may take longer due to restrictions on processing mail ballots before Election Day. New rules in Michigan and Nevada aim to speed up counting, but both states still allow mail ballots to arrive after Election Day. Wisconsin's results are likely to be available by Wednesday morning, while some states may take up to 13 days for full results.
