Large volumes of mail-in ballots, varying counting procedures across states and close races in key states could extend the time it takes to determine final results.

Some states have historically required additional time to count votes due to specific counting procedures and large numbers of mail-in ballots. In many states, early counting of ballots cannot begin until Election Day, while others can begin as early as 18 days before Election Day, but results cannot be announced until after polls close.

In the 2000 presidential election between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush, it took 35 days to declare a winner – the longest wait in modern history. In contrast, current President Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election in just four days.
