When do polls close in each state?

Just under 100 million Americans voted before Election Day. Despite that record number of early votes, tens of millions of voters are heading to the polls on November 3. Knowing the polling information in your state is crucial to ensuring that your vote is counted.

Poll closing times vary by state. In some states with multiple time zones, polls can close first in the earlier time zones. If you are waiting in line when the polls close, stay in line, because you still have the right to vote. The American Civil Liberties Union has a full list of voting rights here.
