AUSTIN, Texas — Central Texans have weighed in on the races for president, U.S. Senate, Austin mayor and more, as well as local propositions. Now we wait to see who the winners are.
While it could take a while for races to be called, KVUE will be on top of all the latest updates, providing regular live analyses and real-time results.
Let's take a look at the biggest races on the ticket.
Presidential race
At the top of the ballot was the race for the White House. Republican former President Donald Trump is projected to beat Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, although the final margin is still to be determined.
According to polls, Trump and Harris were locked in a tight race, although Trump always polled higher.
Texas race for the U.S. Senate
Another major race on Texans' minds is between U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and Congressman Colin Allred. Allred, a Democrat who represents Dallas, hoped to unseat Cruz, a Republican who has served as one of the senators for the Lone Star State since 2013.
Recent polls showed Cruz in the lead, but not by too wide of a margin.
At his campaign rally in Houston, Cruz declared victory shorty after 9 p.m. The race was officially called just after 10:30 p.m.
Austin mayoral race
Austin voters have another big race to pay attention to. Current Mayor Kirk Watson is running for reelection and has four challengers: former Austin City Council member Kathie Tovo, community organizer Carmen Llanes Pulido, interfaith organizer Doug Greco and small business owner Jeffrey Bowen.
KVUE sat down for one-on-one interviews with each of the candidates leading up to the election. You can watch all five interviews here.
In a speech before supporters shortly before 10 p.m., Watson stopped short of declaring victory but delivered a speech expressing optimism over his chances of an outright victory while avoiding a runoff.
Here are the real-time race results:
