In the United States, it is not the popular vote which decides who is president but electoral college votes - making it more so a state-by-state race than a national race.
The electoral college refers to the number of electors in each state, with the number of electoral college votes every state gets being equal to the number of senators and representatives in Congress.
In total, there are 538 electoral college votes up for grabs, and a candidate needs a majority of 270 to win the presidency.
A number of key battleground states will play a key role in the election, including Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, and Michigan.
