Polling places across Arizona are now officially closed. 12 News will be live all night to bring you the latest updates on results, which are expected to start being released at 8 p.m.


Many people across the state voted early this year; early voting kicked off on Oct. 7 in Arizona.


A record-breaking number of voters in Arizona cast their ballots before Election Day, with more than 2.6 million casting ballots in the state as of Monday.

Arizona, a historically Republican state, has been leaning Democrat in both of the top races, the presidential election and the U.S. Senate special election, according to polls.


Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden was leading Republican President Donald Trump by six points, 49% to 43%, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll released Sunday. The race is closer than that according to the final NBC News/Marist state polls, which had the candidates tied at 48% with a 4.5% margin of error.


Arizona polling averages at FiveThirtyEight.com showed Biden leading Trump by 3.4 points. Biden has maintained a lead for the last six months.


Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mark Kelly has also been leading Republican incumbent Sen. Martha McSally in their special election.

According to a Morning Consult poll, Kelly was leading McSally, 48% to 44%, but the Monday poll was within the margin of error.
