Official confirmation: Although the media may predict the winner within the above time period, the official confirmation of the result may be later, usually after the Electoral College votes on December 17 and before the Congressional votes are confirmed on January 6.

Therefore, although Election Day is November 5, due to factors such as the counting of mail-in ballots, the final announcement of the 2024 election results may be slightly delayed than in the past. Media predictions are expected to be within a few days after Election Day, while official confirmation may be a few weeks later.
