Polls opening times vary by location and election, but here are common patterns for Election Day in the United States as of today:

• General guidance: Polls typically open around 7:00 a.m. local time in many states, with some opening as early as 5:00 a.m. or as late as 10:00 a.m., depending on local rules. They usually close between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. local time, with exceptions where polls stay open for those who are in line at closing time.
• Specifics for your location: To confirm the exact opening time, you should check:
  • Your state or local election office website
  • Your county election office
  • Official state voting information portals (often linked from Vote.gov or similar services)
• Where to vote: Look up your polling place on your state or local election website using your name and address; hours are often tied to the specific polling location.
