It has certainly felt like an age since the US presidential election campaign first began, but the time has finally come to find out whether history will be made in the form of current vice president Kamala Harris becoming the first female president of the United States, or in the form of Donald Trump being the first convicted felon to enter the White House.

We'll also learn whether America will have a new vice president in Minnesota governor Tim Walz for the Democrats, or in Ohio senator JD Vance for the Republican Party.

With stats and polling already giving news outlets a good idea of how many states will vote - and therefore, how many electoral college votes will go to each candidate - attention has turned to the seven 'swing states' which could well decide the election and help either Trump or Harris to reach the necessary 270 votes to win.

These are North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona.
