As American citizens wait to learn which presidential candidate - either incumbent Barack Obama or his Republican opponent Mitt Romney - will occupy the Oval Office for the next four years, David Dimbleby reports on proceedings in Washington, DC, with Emily Maitlis showing every result as it comes in. Katty Kay heads a panel of experts to provide the latest analysis, and Jeremy Vine speculates on how the outcome will affect the US. BBC correspondents report back from the crucial battleground states to find out why people voted as they did, and there are immediate reactions from the Democrat and Republican camps.

Chat thread for tonight's proceedings if anyone's planning to stay up. You can discuss other channel's offerings if you wish but quite clearly the BBC's will be as per usual far and away the best. I have limited knowledge of American politics but I'll be watching as much as I can.

Looking forward to some Jeremy Vine graphics and Dimblebot action.
