The vote on who will be hosting the 2020 Olympic Summer Games will be held today. Earlier reports indicated that the vote would be held September 6.

According to reports I've read, the vote will come at 9:00 am Tokyo time (which will be around 5:00 in the afternoon Los Angeles time).

According to the United Kingdom's The Independent:

This morning the Buenos Aires Hilton will host an eclectic global cast. There will be princes, prime ministers, plenty of promises, awkward sports stars stuttering over speeches and almost certainly a fair number of immaculately attired children out to tug any heartstrings available. At stake is the greatest sporting prize a city can earn: the right to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games. 

The bid teams from Tokyo, Istanbul and Madrid each have 45 minutes to make their final presentations to the 100 or so members of the International Olympic Committee and convince them the 2020 Games should be theirs.

They see Tokyo as the "safe" choice, Istanbul as the "bold" choice and Madrid as the "bargain" choice.
