Polls in New York typically close at 9:00 PM Eastern on Election Day, and you must be in line by 9:00 PM for your vote to count. In NYC, polling sites usually open at 6:00 AM and close at 9:00 PM, with results starting to be reported shortly after closing and potentially taking longer to finalize in close races due to absentees and mail ballots. For the 2025 NYC mayoral election, expect closing at 9:00 PM ET, with early results (including in- person and early voting tallies) released first, and final results could take hours or days if margins are tight.
