The app ranked #1 on App Store charts (paid News apps category) during the 2008 Election is now back for the 2024 election. It provides you with 2024 Election results and pre-election polls. Whether you're a New Yorker or a Texan, a moderate or independent, or a Kamalanator or MAGA, this application provides a daily snapshot of the 2024 US presidential election at your finger tips, and will provide you with election results. A one-time in-app-purchase option will give you daily poll updates (until November 8), and provide you with election results. On Election Day, November 5, and the early hours of November 6, results will be updated every 10-20 minutes. So, results will not be available instantly, and there will be a 10-20 minute delay. Without the in-app-purchase, the free version will NOT provide election results. It will give you poll results until early October.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Election Radar at none against Election's 1. Election Radar also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Election's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
