The United States is currently voting to elect its next president: a fierce battle between the incumbent Republican Donald Trump and Democratic hopeful Joe Biden. 

At least 100 million people had voted by November 3, marking a record turnout for the country.

The US is witnessing a democratic experiment of its kind: Voting during a pandemic, racial strife, and continuous claims of foreign intervention.

Take a look at how the United States is voting this time.
