At approximately 9:35 p.m., the Nick stars will reveal who kids nationwide have selected as their choice for the next President of the United States. Voting results will air across Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons and NickMusic.

Kids can cast their vote on kidspickthepresident.com to choose who they would like to be the 45th President of the United States. One vote will be tabulated per household device.
