It's Election Day in the U.S., which means you're likely glued to the
latest news about which presidential candidate is currently in the lead. To
help with this, Apple has released a Live Activities widget within its
Apple News app that will offer real-time election updates directly on your
iPhone or iPad's Home Screen and Lock Screen.

To use the Apple News Live Activity in the U.S., you'll need to first
launch the News app and then tap on the banner at the top of the page
offering live updates. After doing so, you'll get a message saying "Live
Activity Scheduled," which notes that when the event starts, you'll begin
to receive real-time updates on both your Home Screen and Lock Screen. (The
iPad gained Live Activities on the Lock Screen in iOS 17.)
