Azteca America will be offering that it is calling "unprecedented live coverage of the 2012 presidential and congressional elections" that will include updates throughout Election Day from a network of correspondents.

The coverage will also include extended segments during the Noticiero Azteca America national newscast and draw on material from correspondents in Washington D.C., Arizona, Colorado, California, Florida, Nevada, Texas and Massachusetts.

The Hispanic broadcasters will also air a live program analyzing the results as the polls close and a special post-election show on Nov. 7 at 9 p.m. ET.

"The 2012 presidential and congressional elections are a watershed moment for the Latino community and an opportunity for the fastest-growing component of the U.S. population to express their preferences for the direction of this country," said Azteca America chairman Luis J. Echarte in a statement. "We'll be with them, with up-to-date information at every stage of the election process."
