Polls opening and closing times vary by location, and on Election Day November 4, 2025 they generally open in the morning and close in the evening, but exact hours depend on your state and county. Here’s how to find the precise times quickly and keep your plan tight:
- Check your local election authority site or state election office for the official hours. In many states, polling places open around 6:00 AM to 7:00 AM and close around 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM, but some jurisdictions open earlier or later.
- If you’re in a major city (for example, New York City in 2025), polling sites typically open early (around 6:00 AM) and close at 9:00 PM local time, with people in line when polls close permitted to vote.
- If you’d like, share your state or locality, and the exact opening/closing times for your precinct can be confirmed precisely.
What to do now:
- Look up “polling place hours [your state] [your county or city]” on your state’s official elections website.
- If you’re unsure of your polling place, use your state’s “find my polling place” tool to confirm both the location and hours.
- Plan to arrive a bit early to account for lines, or consider voting early if your area offers it.
If you want, provide your location and I can guide you to the exact official hours for today.
