Washington: Who will become the President of America? The answer to this question is going to be found very soon. There is a tough competition between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris and the whole world is watching this election. In such a situation, a question is also arising that what will happen if Trump and Kamala Harris are tied in this election?
What will happen if both are tied?
Although the possibility of both the candidates being tied is very low, still this question is seen arising. If Trump and Kamala Harris fail to reach the majority limit of 270 voters, then according to the US Constitution, Congress will play a decisive role.
If there is a tie in the election, a contingent election will have to be held in Congress. However, this will be something that has never happened in modern American history. The last time a tie in the election of 1800 forced Congress to elect a president, in which Thomas Jefferson was pitted against the incumbent President John Adams.
Jefferson was elected in this election but the MPs in the House had to struggle a lot to agree. Four years after this conflict, the 12th Amendment was adopted in the US Constitution, so that the processes related to the election could be clarified to some extent. This time, if this happens, the House voting will be held on January 6, 2025.
According to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), “Each state, regardless of population, casts one vote for the president in a contingent election.”
How is the election held in America?
Whenever the presidential election is held in America, it takes place on the first Tuesday of November. This time this election is being held on November 5. However, the process of American elections starts about one and a half years in advance. The term of the President in America is 4 years. A person can be president only 2 times maximum.
The process of US presidential election is completed in 5 stages, which are primary and caucus, national convention, general election, electoral college and swearing-in. The most important of these is the general election. Under this, the more population of the state, the more electors are elected by the general public from there. The rule of winner takes all applies here. It is on 5th November.
This is considered the most important phase of the presidential election. The party which elects more electors almost determines who will become the next president.
