Election polls close tomorrow; be sure to vote if you haven't already! Whoever wins the election when the poll closes tomorrow step into that office on Sunday afternoon at the beginning of the Cabinet Q&A event at 3:15 PM EST (8:15 PM GMT) which begins with a short Presidential inauguration ceremony! If you can, be sure to attend that event as it will also provide an opportunity to hear the new President's plans and ask questions about them!
