A tie means that there is no result and both the matches end in a draw. Such situations arise when there is a very close contest or when more than two people get the mandate of the post of President.

The current election for the post of US President is being fought between Trump and Harris. The election survey is showing a close contest between both the candidates. In the national survey, Trump is ahead by 0.1 percentage points, while in key states the former President has a lead of 0.9 percentage points. According to The Hill, the presidential race appears to be a tough race and no candidate seems to have a clear lead. NBC News said that the survey shows that Harris is getting the support of 49 percent of registered voters in the head-to-head contest, while Trump is getting the same percentage of support i.e. 49 percent. The news channel said that only two percent of voters say that they are in a state of uncertainty about the elections.
There are 538 Electoral College votes, out of which the candidate who gets 270 votes wins the presidential election and his government comes to power. What happens if there is no majority? Its method has been devised according to the American Constitution. It has been said that if someone does not get the mandate under the normal process of voting, then there is a provision for contingent election for him. Through this the President and Vice President are elected. The President is elected through the House of Representatives. The candidate for the post of Vice President is selected through the Senate. In such a situation, it can also happen that if Republicans do not have majority in the Senate, Democrats have majority. If the House of Representatives selects a Democrat as its preferred candidate, then a situation may arise that you may have a Democrat as President and a Republican as the Vice President.
