Americans are on their way to the polls to pick their next president.
We have Kim Hyo-sun on the line.... to give us the latest developments in the U.S. presidential election.
Hyo-sun, When do polls open and close in the U.S.? And when can we expect the results?

Good afternoon, Daeun.
All 50 states and Washington, D.C., will go to the polls on Tuesday, November 8th.
But one village -- Dixville Notch in New Hampshire -- has a long tradition of voting in the middle of the night and they're known for declaring the result even before the polls even open anywhere else.
The town... which has a population of just 12 people... began casting their first votes as the clock stroke midnight on November 8th -- or at 2 p.m. Korea time.
All other polling stations will open across the nation beginning at 6 a.m.... and will close around 7 p.m. Eastern time.
As soon as the polls close, the projections for each state will be released... based on the exit polls conducted throughout the day.
The final results are expected to be out by Wednesday morning in the U.S.,... but by around Tuesday evening local time,.... or Wednesday at about noon in Korea... it is normally clear which side has won.
And the winner will be the candidate who secures a majority of the 538 votes in the Electoral College -- or the magic number of 270.
Inauguration day for the 45th president of the United States will be January 20th, 2017.
