It's Election Day for our friends on the other side of the river.

People in Niagara are waiting to see if President Donald Trump will serve a second term or if Democrat Joe Biden will take over the White House.

The polls will be open from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. in Erie County, New York but all voters have to wear a mask and practice physical distancing.

The polling stations will also be disinfected throughout the day.

Nearly 100-million Americans have already cast their ballot.

Early voting and absentee balloting has been very popular this year due to the pandemic.
