DENVER — Follow along here as results come in for the 2024 presidential election between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris.

The interactive map below shows each candidate's results in the Electoral College. There are a total of 538 electors. To be elected president, a candidate must get at least half of the total plus one, or 270 electoral votes. Most states give all their electoral votes to whichever candidate wins the state's popular vote.

Colorado has 10 electors because it has two members of the U.S. Senate and eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives.

On the map below, for county-by-county results for Colorado for any other state, either click on that state on the map or click on the "National Map" dropdown menu and choose a state.

When do we find out who won the presidential election?

Results will begin to be announced after polls close in each individual state on election night. It may take some time before we know who will be the next president.

In some years, the official race call has come within hours of the first polls closing. But in recent years, it's taken longer to know for sure which candidate has won enough electoral votes to win the White House. 

In the 2020 presidential election, the Associated Press declared Joe Biden the winner four days after Election Day – at 11:26 a.m. ET on Saturday, Nov. 7.

In 2016, AP called the race for Donald Trump at 2:29 a.m. Eastern on Wednesday, Nov. 9, after determining that Trump had won Wisconsin, thereby exceeding the necessary 270 electoral votes.

In 2012, AP declared at 11:38 p.m. ET on election night that Barack Obama had been re-elected, beating Republican candidate Mitt Romney. The AP call came after determining that Obama had won Colorado, thereby exceeding the necessary 270 electoral votes.

In 2008, all of the major networks declared around 11 p.m. ET on election night that Democrat Barack Obama had been elected the first Black president of the United States, defeating Republican John McCain.
