Here's What Time the Polls Close in Every State
The presidential election between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris will come to a head on Nov. 5 as final voters cast their ballots. That’s not the only thing that will be decided at the polls though, with abortion, marijuana, and local and state representative elections also set to be voted on down ballot
On election day, polling hours vary state by state—sometimes even county by county. In certain states where poll closing times vary—specifically in states like North Dakota and New Hampshire—you can utilize search functions on each state’s respective website.
Though line-length will vary too, what matters is that if you are in line by the time the polls close, you will be able to cast your ballot. Voting does not end until the last person in line at the time the polls close gets to vote.
