Here’s how we will bring you the latest vote totals and estimates of the outcome on the presidential race and other contests around the country.

This article was written by The Times’s Election Analytics team, which operates the election night statistical model known as the Needle.

We have spent months preparing to report on thousands of federal, state and local races on Election Day, including by collecting results and other data on the vote count from precincts and counties across the country. This year, a team of nearly 100 Times journalists, engineers, statisticians, data experts and researchers are collaborating to deliver up-to-the-minute results, displayed live on nytimes.com with a full array of interactive maps and charts so that you can see what is happening in the most important races of the night.

That data also feeds into the Needle, our election night statistical model, which estimates the final outcome based on partial election results, helping readers understand what to make of the vote that has been counted so far.
