President Barack Obama and challenger Mitt Romney make their closing arguments to voters on the final day of campaigning in the US presidential election. Both campaigns are working to encourage loyal supporters and attract undecided voters - with less than 24 hours before millions of Americans cast their ballots.

"If there is anyone who wonders if better jobs and better pay checks are a thing of the past, I have a clear and unequivocal message, 'With the right leadership, America is about to come roaring back," he promised.

Both presidential candidates are rallying supporters and trying to attract minorities and independent women voters. More than 29 million Americans in 34 states have already cast ballots in early voting, although none of the ballots will be counted until Tuesday.

As the election draws to a close emotions are running high.

"Let us Vote!" some people shouted.

In Florida, angry residents at several polling places waited five to six hours, after election officials temporarily suspended early voting.

President Obama was twice interrupted by hecklers in Ohio, as police led away the demonstrators.

Also looming over Tuesday's election are voters on the East Coast still reeling from the devastating storm Sandy that hit the area last week. It is unclear if the outcome of the close race will be affected if hundreds of thousands of people view voting as an afterthought, as they struggle with major damage to their homes, power outages and fuel shortages.
