US Election 2020: Can you only vote Trump or Biden and other questions Published 6 November 2020
Are Donald Trump and Joe Biden the only candidates for president? And why are the voting systems in Maine and Nebraska different to the rest of the United States?
Here are some of your key questions around the US election answered.
If you vote for someone who is not a Democrat or Republican, what happens to your vote? Jan, Australia
Your vote will still count. Because the focus of the 2020 US presidential election campaign is on just two men, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, it's very easy to forget that there are many other candidates.
According to the Federal Election Commission, a whopping 1,214 presidential hopefuls have filed papers for this election.
The vast majority of candidates, including the musician Kanye West, only stood in a few places.

However the Libertarian Party's Jo Jorgensen was on the ballot for all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
In October, the BBC heard from three of these other presidential candidates.
In 1968, a third-party candidate, George Wallace, garnered nearly ten million votes, winning five states. In 1992, nearly 20 million people voted for Ross Perot, although he won no states.
Why do Maine and Nebraska split their electoral college votes? Elizabeth, London
Maine and Nebraska are the only two US states where the candidate with most votes does not take all of its electoral college votes.
Instead, they use what is called the "congressional district method". Each state's electoral college vote is equal to its number of Senate seats - always two - plus its number of congressional districts.
The candidate with most votes in each congressional district takes one electoral college vote and then whoever wins the state-wide vote gains two more college votes.
Having briefly used the split-vote method in the 1820s, Maine reintroduced it in 1969. This was because of concerns that a candidate in a three-way presidential election, like that of 1968, could take all the state's electoral college votes with little over a third of the popular vote.
Nebraska has used the split-vote system since 1996, according to one commentator, "to attract presidential candidates to a state they usually ignore because it's so reliably conservative."
How does the point system work with the presidential race? Robert Williams, Sacramento
The number of electoral college members - known as electors - from each state is roughly in line with the size of its population. Each state has as many electors as it has lawmakers in the US Congress (representatives in the House and senators).
California has the most electors - 55 - while some states with smaller populations like Wyoming, Alaska and North Dakota (and Washington DC) have the minimum of three. There are 538 electors in total.
Each elector represents one electoral vote, and a candidate needs to gain a majority of the votes - 270 or more - to win the presidency.
Who are the members of the electoral college, how are they chosen and how long do they serve in the role? - Penny Reid, Northumberland, UK
The members of the electoral college are usually nominated by the Republican and Democratic parties for each election.
There are different rules for nominating them in each state, and they are officially selected on polling day.
The college members - known as electors - often have connections in the US political parties, like activists or former politicians.
Bill Clinton was a Democratic elector in 2016, and Donald Trump Junior was put forward by the Republicans.

Could Donald Trump try to contest the results of the election? - Basel, Israel
Yes. Both campaigns have said they're already preparing for legal disputes following the election.
They have a right to demand a recount in most states, usually if the result there is tight.
There's been a surge in postal voting this year, and it's also possible that the validity of these ballots could be challenged in court.
These lawsuits could make their way up to the US Supreme Court - the ultimate legal authority in the US.
This happened in 2000, when the Supreme Court stopped a recount in Florida and ruled in favour of Republican George W Bush, who became president.
What influence does the national vote have on the way the electoral college votes? - Caroline Bonwitt, Gloucestershire, UK
US presidents are not decided by the national popular vote, but by winning in enough states.
The winner in each state gets the support of a number of electors based roughly on its population.
These electors meet a few weeks after polling day - forming the electoral college - to vote to officially nominate the next president.
To win the White House, 270 electoral votes are needed.

Pretty much everyone in the world is fed up with this "electoral college" nonsense. So how hard is it to just make US elections a majority vote and dump the college? - Judy, BC, Canada
The US electoral system is laid out in the constitution, so changing it would require a constitutional amendment.
This would have to be approved by two-thirds of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, or the same proportion of state legislatures. This would then need to be ratified by three-quarters of US states.
This is very unlikely to be successful, although there have been attempts to change the system in the past.
There is an ongoing effort by some states to award their electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote, no matter who wins there. This is a way off, but would effectively nullify the electoral college.
What happens if it's a tie? - Chinga, China
There are 538 electoral votes up for grabs, with a fixed number of electors representing each state based roughly on the size of its population.
This means a draw is possible at 269 votes each, although unlikely.
If no candidate gains a majority of votes in the electoral college, it would be up to the US Congress to decide.
Members of Congress elected in the 2020 elections would take on this responsibility.
The House of Representatives would vote to decide the president, with each state delegation having one vote - a majority of 26 is needed for a candidate to become president.
The Senate would select the vice-president, with all 100 senators having a vote.
Who will decide the presidency if there is no definitive winner via the electoral college? -Robert Pallone, Maryland
If there's no definite winner in the electoral college, it would mean there's either been a tie in the overall result (covered above), or that ongoing legal challenges in disputed states have not been resolved, and so their electors cannot be chosen.
The electoral college - whose job it is to formally nominate the next president - meets on 14 December this year. Electors must be put forward by each state for their winning candidate by then.
If the election results are still disputed and certain states can't decide which candidate to give their electors to, then it would be up to the US Congress to step in.
The US constitution imposes a final deadline - the term of the president (and vice-president) expires on 20 January at noon.
If Congress has been unable to choose the winner by then, there's a line of succession set out in law.
First in line is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, currently Nancy Pelosi, followed by the second highest ranking member of the Senate, currently Charles Grassley.
This has never happened before so it's unclear how, under these exceptional circumstances, this would work in practice.
What makes some states' votes count more than others? - S Robertson, Sussex, UK
Candidates tend to campaign in states where the result is uncertain - that's why people say the votes in these states "count more".
These places are known as battleground or swing states.
The US electoral system means that in all but two states, the margin of victory doesn't matter, as whoever gets the most votes wins all the electoral votes on offer in that state.
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, People waiting to vote in California
In states which are almost guaranteed to vote a certain way - like California (Democrat) or Alabama (Republican) - candidates have less incentive to campaign.
They'll put most effort into a handful of tight races, such as Florida and Pennsylvania, targeting voters that could go either way.
If postal votes that get counted several days after the election, change the final tally of a state from Trump to Biden or vice-versa, then what is the protocol for re-announcing a winner? - Charlie Etheridge, Kent, UK
There's no legal requirement to announce a winner on election night - this is done as a projection by major US media outlets.
The full count is never completed on the night - but enough votes are usually in to confirm a winner.
These are unofficial results which are certified only weeks later, when confirmed by state officials.
This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Media caption, Could postal voting upend the US election?
This year, the US media will likely be more cautious in calling a winner, as there are more postal votes and these take longer to count.
This could mean the leader on election night in some states could end up losing once all the votes - including postal ballots - are counted.
Your Questions Answered: What questions do you have about the US election?
How does vote counting work? When will we get the final results? The US election can be confusing, especially this year. The BBC is here to help make sense of it. Please send us your questions about election day and beyond.

Che Adams has scored three goals for Southampton this season
Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl told his side to believe "anything is possible" after they went top of the Premier League for the first time ever.
Just over a year on from a 9-0 home humiliation by Leicester, which left the Austrian in danger of being sacked, he guided Saints to the summit of the English top flight for the first time since 1988 with a comfortable victory over Newcastle.
"Our fans will love it and they'll make a picture of the table," Hasenhuttl said.
"For us it's nice but it shouldn't kill the hunger for more. We should stay hungry and we should feel anything is possible with this team.
"I must be very proud. We developed not with a lot of invested money but with a lot of invested work.
"We had some good results in the past two or three months and it was important everyone can see the philosophy we are following can be successful.
"Everyone was on the highest level and it's a little bit scary what we're doing at the moment. But it's not surprising because I see them working."
It was a dominant performance for Hasenhuttl's side, who moved the ball well and deservedly ran out winners after Che Adams' superb first-half volley and Stuart Armstrong's drilled effort late on.
Newcastle, who remain 11th in the table, were the exact opposite and contributed to their defeat by carelessly losing the ball in dangerous positions for both goals.
"The goals we gave away probably summed up our evening," said Magpies manager Steve Bruce.
"We gave it away far too cheaply and far too often. We were a shadow of the team I saw against Everton."
No Ings, no problem
With top scorer Danny Ings injured Saints fans could have been forgiven for wondering just where their goals were going to come from.
Ings, whose impressive early-season form led to an England recall five years after his last cap, had been responsible for 36% of Southampton's goals prior to this fixture after forming an effective partnership with Adams.
So, in his absence it was hardly a surprise to see Adams assume more responsibility, with Theo Walcott - back at his first club on loan from Everton after 15 years away - cast in a supporting central role.
Only an excellent save from Newcastle goalkeeper Karl Darlow prevented Adams from scoring with a curling effort towards the top right corner.
'It nice for our fans' - Saints boss Hasenhuttl on going top
But moments later he opened the scoring with a wonderful volley from 12 yards after good work from Kyle Walker-Peters and Walcott.
With Oriol Romeu and James Ward-Prowse controlling the tempo and popping passes around and through the visitors, Saints eventually got a merited second goal.
Longstaff's dawdling saw Armstrong deprive him of the ball and cut inside before dispatching a left-foot shot into the bottom left corner.
It was no more than Saints - who saw Darlow tip a sparkling Romeu effort onto the crossbar - deserved and it underlined a remarkable turnaround in their fortunes from 12 months ago.
Languishing in the bottom three and still reeling from that loss to Leicester, Hasenhuttl and Southampton appeared to be in turmoil.
Now they are top of the pile and the Austrian is being linked with the Manchester United manager's role currently occupied by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Newcastle's profligacy in possession costs them
Defensive solidity had been a key facet of Newcastle's previous two Premier League outings.
So Magpies boss Bruce's frustration in the technical area was evident as his team appeared to dispense with a formula that worked so well against Wolves and Everton.
Inconsistency nags away at me - Bruce
Not only did Newcastle fail to play the percentages in defence, they constantly lost possession cheaply as they over-played.
"You have to be good with the ball and make sure you look after it better than we did," Bruce added.
"That's why the players play at this level because they are expected to. From six minutes in we gifted them the first goal, then it was a difficult night all round.
"We were nowhere near where we were five days ago. That's my biggest issue - that we go up and down. It was a poor, poor performance."
Only two Newcastle players managed a passing accuracy of over 80% and that ensured they were unable to construct any sort of foundation to attack.
Almiron and Longstaff will bear the brunt of Bruce's anger over the goals but Jamal Lewis, Federico Fernandez and Jacob Murphy also put their side into difficulty on several occasions.
Not even a tweak in style to be more direct with the introduction of Andy Carroll and Joelinton could rouse Newcastle, who won on the same ground in March.
Saints on the march - the stats
Newcastle have conceded a goal in seven consecutive league games; it's their longest run without a Premier League clean sheet since December 2017 (11 in a row).
Southampton have won three consecutive Premier League matches for the first time since winning four in a row in May 2016 under Ronald Koeman.
Southampton have picked up 16 points in their eight Premier League games this season (W5 D1 L2); they have never had more at this stage of a campaign in the competition (level with 2014-15).
Che Adams has scored in three of Southampton's eight league games this season (three goals), as many different Premier League matches as he found the net in in 30 appearances last term (four goals).
Southampton's Theo Walcott, who has assisted a goal in three of his last four league starts, has been directly involved in more Premier League goals against Newcastle than any other opponent in his career (11 - five goals, six assists).
Stuart Armstrong scored just his third Premier League goal on home soil for Southampton, and his first in the competition at St Mary's since February against Aston Villa.
In what was his 350th Premier League appearance, Walcott finally made his home Premier League debut for Southampton, 14 years and 314 days after his last league match for the club at St Mary's in December 2005 in the Championship.
What's next?
Following the international break both sides return to action in the Premier League on Saturday 21 November.
Southampton travel to Molineux to face Wolves (15:00 GMT) with Newcastle hosting Chelsea earlier in the day (12:30 GMT).

`` If I do n't trust my beliefs and values , who else will ? ''
he said .

Despite the poor position , Solskjaer says he is confident his players will react at Goodison Park .
`` There are demands on a Man United player , coach and manager , '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expectation .

Solskjaer has seen his side beaten by Arsenal and Istanbul Basaksehir in their last two games
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still believes he is the right man to change the fortunes at Old Trafford.
Solskjaer has been under huge pressure after successive defeats, including Wednesday's Champions League loss to Istanbul Basaksehir.
United go to Everton on Saturday (12:30 GMT) and some media reports claim a heavy defeat will see him lose his job.
"If I don't trust my beliefs and values, who else will?" he said.
"I don't look at one or two results and fall like a house of cards."
Solskjaer said he has always had an "open and honest dialogue" with the club and says those in charge at Old Trafford have "shown strong leadership".
Prior to defeat in Turkey, United lost at home to Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday, leaving them 15th in the table.
Anything short of victory over Everton on Saturday will mean the club record their worst start to a Premier League season at the seven-game mark.
Despite the poor position, Solskjaer says he is confident his players will react at Goodison Park.

"We are the best and biggest club in the world. [After Wednesday] we didn't expect anything but criticism. It is how you deal with it.
"The boys are ready for a reaction. We are all hurt. It is never easy when you lose two games on the bounce but that is football."
Former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has been linked with a move to Old Trafford, but Solskjaer said he has been "planning long-term" with the club.
"Of course we want results short-term," he added. "But I've had positive, good dialogue, open dialogue with the plans that we've put in place.
"We've planted a seed, the tree is growing. Some clubs just rip up that tree and see if it's still growing and see if it's still getting water underneath.
"For me, I've had backing all the way since I've come in on a bigger picture - and the club needs to look at the bigger picture."
At his Friday news conference, Solskjaer told reporters he is as confident of achieving success at the club as he was when appointed in 2018.
He said only a matter of weeks ago the club were spoken of as "the best thing since sliced bread" when they earned Champions League wins over Paris St-Germain and RB Leipzig.

'There's always pressure'
Former England boss and Manchester United assistant manager Steve McClaren speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live:
"There's always speculation. There are always people in the background, out of work looking for a job and keeping an eye on results. It's a constant pressure, especially nowadays.
"Before you could lose four or five games and get away with it. You can't lose one now, especially at Manchester United."
West Ham manager and former Manchester United boss David Moyes:
"All managers are under pressure. At Manchester United there is more pressure than any club in the world. It comes with the job. We know what happens if you don't win enough games."
Former Tottenham, Newcastle and England midfielder Jermaine Jenas on BBC Radio 5 Live:
"I feel sorry for Ole at times. There are too many in that dressing room that think 'I'm quite happy, I'm on a load of money'. Do they really care about Ole losing his job or not? I'm not sure they do. They will play certain games and perform in certain games because they know they are on the world stage and the eyes are on them.
"I don't feel they are doing it for Manchester United. I don't feel like they are doing it so their manager keeps hold of his job.
"Right now I see too many players in that group who I feel are just not that bothered. It's hard to say they don't care, because of course they care.

Justin Turner returned to the pitch to celebrate and take photos after testing positive for coronavirus
Los Angeles Dodgers player Justin Turner will not be punished for running onto the field to celebrate his side's World Series win after he had tested positive for coronavirus.
The third baseman left the title-winning game before the eighth innings when the team was told the test result.
He was supposed to isolate but took photos on the field while not wearing a mask after the victory.
MLB commissioner Robert Manfred said Turner would not face any sanction.
Manfred said the player had expressed remorse and believed he was allowed to return to the field, having been encouraged by his team-mates after they won their first World Series in 32 years.
The commissioner added that MLB had failed to send security to monitor Turner and transport him from the Texas stadium to his hotel more promptly.
"We all have made mistakes as we navigated these unprecedented challenges and have tried to learn from those mistakes so they are not repeated," Manfred said.
"With this in mind I am closing this matter by applauding Justin for accepting responsibility, apologising and making a commitment to set a positive example going forward."
Turner said: "I was under the impression that team officials did not object to my returning to the field for a picture with my wife.
"However, what was intended to be a photo capturing the two of us turned into several greetings and photos where I briefly and unwisely removed my mask.
"In hindsight, I should have waited until the field was clear of others to take that photo with my wife.

China has successfully launched what has been described as "the world's first 6G satellite" into space to test the technology.
It went into orbit along with 12 other satellites from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in the Shanxi Province.
The telecoms industry is still several years away from agreeing on 6G's specifications, so it is not yet certain the tech being trialled will make it into the final standard.
It involves use of high-frequency terahertz waves to achieve data-transmission speeds many times faster than 5G is likely to be capable of.
The satellite also carries technology which will be used for crop disaster monitoring and forest fire prevention.

Alex Cora has rejoined the Boston Red Sox as manager , less than a fortnight after his season-long suspension from Major League Baseball expired .
That ban lasted until the conclusion of the recent World Series .
But after a poor season under Cora 's replacement Ron Roenicke , in which the Red Sox lost 36 of their 60 games and finished bottom of the American League East division , they have moved quickly to rehire Cora once he was available again .

Alex Cora won back-to-back World Series titles with Houston (2017) and Boston (2018), but both clubs were subsequently punished for sign-stealing
Alex Cora has rejoined the Boston Red Sox as manager, less than a fortnight after his season-long suspension from Major League Baseball expired.
Cora, 45, had won the World Series title with Boston in 2018, but was then sacked by the club in January for his part in the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal, and subsequently banned by MLB for the 2020 season.
That ban lasted until the conclusion of the recent World Series.
But after a poor season under Cora's replacement Ron Roenicke, in which the Red Sox lost 36 of their 60 games and finished bottom of the American League East division, they have moved quickly to rehire Cora once he was available again.

Taniela Tupou scored the decisive try for Australia
The 2020 Rugby Championship Australia (8) 24 Tries : Wright, Tupou Cons: Hodge Pens: Hodge 4 New Zealand (8) 22 Tries: Ioane, Taylor, Vaa'i Cons: J Barrett 2 Pens: J Barrett
Australia bounced back from last weekend's record defeat to New Zealand to edge past the All Blacks 24-22 in a thriller at Suncorp Stadium.
The Wallabies started brightly as Tom Wright crossed in the third minute, before Rieko Ioane levelled the scores.
Both sides finished the first half with 14 men as Ofa Tu'ungafasi and debutant Lachlan Swinton were both sent off.
The visitors led 15-11 before Taniela Tupou scored for the Wallabies, who held on despite Tupou Vaa'i's late try.
The All Blacks sealed the Bledisloe Cup for an 18th consecutive year after a record 43-5 win in Sydney last week, but there were still vital Rugby Championship points to play for in Brisbane.
Both sides made several changes as the hosts handed debuts to Wright and Swinton, and it took just three minutes for the former to have an influence as he crossed for his first international try.
The visitors hit back in their slick and free-flowing style as Ioane finished off a well-worked move, but it was the All Blacks who were reduced to 14 men first as prop Tu'ungafasi was penalised for making direct contact with Wright's chin in the tackle.
Flanker Swinton followed Tu'ungafasi off the field 12 minutes later when he hit Sam Whitelock above the legal limit, as the first half ended 8-8.
Codie Taylor scored after the interval as the All Blacks threatened to break away from their hosts but Reece Hodge's penalty reduced the deficit before Tupou powered over from close range with five minutes remaining.
Vaa'i' hit back with the clock ticking down but the influential Marika Koroibete smashed Damian McKenzie to force a knock on from the restart and end the All Blacks' challenge.
New Zealand face Argentina in their next Rugby Championship game on Saturday, 14 November, while the Wallabies play Argentina the following weekend.
