California polls in California typically close at 8:00 PM local time on Election Day. If you arrive in line by 8:00 PM, you can still vote, and ballots may be counted after the polls officially close. For the specific election you’re asking about (date and type of election), the closing time remains 8:00 PM in most California jurisdictions, though there can be local variations for certain municipal elections. If you need the exact closing time for a particular county or for a specific ballot (e.g., a special election like Proposition 50), please share the exact election date and the locality, and I’ll confirm the precise hours.
