Polls opening times vary by state and even by county, but most polling places in the United States open around 7:00 a.m. local time on Election Day, with some locations starting as early as 5:00 a.m. or as late as 10:00 a.m., and most close between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. local time. If you are in line by closing time, you will typically be able to vote even if lines are long. For the exact hours where you vote today, check your state or local election office website or Vote.gov/USA.gov, and look up your specific polling place and hours by your address or county. Key steps to confirm hours quickly:

• Enter your state and county on your official election site or use your local election authority’s polling-place finder.
• Verify any early voting options and hours if today is during an early voting period.
• Note that some jurisdictions have variations by municipality or precinct, so always confirm for your exact polling location.
