The clocks have just turned 07:00 local time in Alaska and 08:00 local time in Washington state, meaning that polling stations are now open, APA reports citing BBC.
There are three electoral college votes up for grabs in Alaska, America's largest state by land, and there are 12 electoral college votes available in Washington, the lumber producer of the US.
Hawaii - with four electoral college votes - has the honour as the final US state to open its polling booths with voting to begin at 07:00 local time (17:00 GMT).
And to get a sense of just how big America is, and the various time differences across the country, voting in Hawaii starts just seven hours before the first polls close on the East Coast.
