Polls open times vary by state and locality on Election Day, with most polling places opening around 7:00 AM local time and closing between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Some states or jurisdictions start earlier or later, and a few counties or cities may have extended or staggered hours. Always verify the exact opening time for your specific polling location, as well as any special rules (such as if you’re in line when polls close). Key points to know:

• Typical opening: 7:00 AM local time in many states.
• Typical closing: 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM local time in most places.
• Some areas have earlier or later start times (e.g., 5:00 AM, 6:00 AM, or 7:00 AM) or regional variations.
• If you are in line when polls close, you are generally still allowed to vote.

How to confirm your exact times:

• Check your state or local election office website.
• Use official resources like Vote.gov or your state’s election portal.
• Look up your specific polling place to confirm its hours and location.

If you’d like, provide your state or city and I can give you the precise opening and closing times for that jurisdiction.
