2024 General Election: Poll Closing Times

Do not rely on this information to determine when to vote. Your polling place may have different hours.

Standard Time returns Sunday, November 3 at 2:00 AM local time. 

While there are some local exceptions, the maps on this page largely reflect the latest in-person poll closing times for the November 5, 2024 general election.

The first map converts all times to Eastern Standard Time. This is useful as a chronological guide to when results will start becoming available through the evening. The second map displays closings in local time.

In most states that span two time zones, polls close at the same local time. In those cases, the Eastern Time Zone map will show two times. For statewide races, the later time is the earliest that media outlets will call or characterize the race. Of course, it could take much longer. 

In Nebraska and Tennessee, polls close simultaneously. In these cases, it is the local time map that will show two times.

The Eastern Time Zone map is also available on our Poll Closing Times URL. Toward the bottom of that page is a table that shows the number of Senate, Governor, and House races at each closing time, as well as the number of electoral votes. Below that is a breakdown of congressional districts in seven states where not all close at the same time.
