The kickoff marks the end to a campaign like no other -- exhausting, often bitter -- as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump presented radically different visions of how to lead the world’s greatest power.

Polls opened at 6:00 am US eastern time (1630 IST) in nine states, mainly in the east. The name of the winner was not expected to be known before 10:00 pm eastern time (0830 IST on Wednesday).

Democratic frontrunner Clinton and Republican maverick Trump campaigned into the early hours of election day, capping a gruelling final day of wooing voters.
