TEMPE, AZ — After a marathon political campaign, Election Day 2020 is finally here.

This year's election might look a bit different because of the pandemic. Record numbers of people have already voted early and by mail. In Arizona, at least 2.6 million voted as of Monday.

But if you're heading out to the polls to vote in person — or have already voted today — we want to hear from you.

If you still plan to vote in person, polls in Arizona are open through 7 p.m. Those in line after that time can still cast their votes. The first batch of results won't be available until 8 p.m., per Arizona law. Go here for more information on how and where to vote in person.

Record voter turnout is expected across the nation, fueled by a contentious presidential race. Republican President Donald Trump faces former Vice President Joe Biden in the race for the White House.
