How to watch the live election results in the UK

It's nearly election day in the USA (finally!) and there are so many choices in how to watch the election news and results, both on televsion and internet live streams. This has been such a stressful election season, expats may stay up all night to watch the results come in as it's been so close.

It will be midnight in the UK when the US polls start closing on the East coast, five hours behind the UK, networks and ‘experts’ will then begin projections based on exit polls. We won’t start to get true results until around 4am Wednesday.

The Telegraph has a great election timetable.
