US President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry came to the finish line of their campaigns on Monday, urging voters to come out and cast their ballots on Tuesday.
Bush made a 19-hour campaign tour across six states, including some battleground states that would decide whether he would get a second term or he would be succeeded by his Democratic rival.
"It's close to voting time, and I'm here to ask for your vote and your help: Get your friends and neighbors to go to the polls tomorrow," Bush told supporters in Wisconsin.
Accusing Kerry of belonging in the "flip-flop hall of fame" in a rally in Iowa, Bush said, "A president has to make the tough decisions and stand by them."
Bush began the day in Ohio, then flew to Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, followed by two stops in Iowa and a campaign event in New MexiCo He was to end the day in Texas, to vote on Election Day.
After voting at Crawford, Bush was to return to the White House and watch the returns with family members.
Kerry started the day with a rally in Orlando, Florida, before flying to three key states in the Midwest.
"I believe we deserve a president who knows how to fight a more effective war on terror and make America safe," Kerry told supporters at Orlando International Airport.
"This is the choice, this is the moment of accountability for America, and it is the moment that the world is watching what you' re going to do. All of the hopes and dreams of our country are on the line today," Kerry said.
He pledged to regain "America's respect and influence in the world" and said that the country deserved "a president who knows how to fight a more effective war on terror and make America safe. "
The senator urged voters to make a strong turnout on Election Day, and change the direction of the country by rejecting the incumbent president.
"I'm expecting a record turnout. I think Americans are determined not to have a repeat of the year 2000," Kerry said in ABC "Good Morning American."
Kerry was scheduled to vote in Boston, Massachusetts, on Tuesday.
Reports said millions of Americans had voted early in 32 states, including more than 1.8 million in Florida alone.
A CNN-USA Today-Gallup survey, released on the eve of the election, showed Bush and Kerry were still tied in public support - 49 percent to 49 percent, after nearly eight months of head-to- head campaigning.
