Poll Closing Times

Adjusted to Eastern Time (ET), these are the latest scheduled closing times for the polls in each state. This is likely to be the earliest time that results will be reported, and a winner possibly projected, for each state.

Note that states that span multiple time zones tend to close their polls at the same local time. So, for example, in the Eastern Time Zone of Florida the polls close at 7PM ET, while they close at 7PM Central Time (8PM ET). Since 8PM ET is the latest closing time, that is what we show in the list below. However, not all states work this way. For example, Kentucky and Indiana polls close at 6PM local time, which means 6PM Central Time (7PM ET). Election Day court rulings and/or local rules may alter these schedules as well.

Bottom Line: This is not an official schedule, so don't rely on it to plan when to vote!
