The US election is very likely to come down to voting in just 7 key “swing” states where the polls just both candidates are closely tied.

Here’s what to look out for, and how many electoral college votes they count for.

1. Pennsylvania – 19

Win this and you are on the way to the White House. Latest polls put Trump just ahead.

2. Georgia – 16

Another one where Trump appears to be edging ahead. If he loses this, hard to see how he can win.

3. North Carolina – 16

Again the polls show a very small lead for Trump.

4. Michigan – 15

The polls show Harris slightly ahead and she really cannot afford to lose this. If she does, likely to be game over.

5. Arizona – 11

Polls show Trump has a decent lead, so any win for Harris is curtains for Trump.

6. Wisconsin 10

Harris edging ahead in the polls, another must-win for her.

7. Nevada – 6

Very close to call on this one with polls showing a dead heat.
