Polls opening and closing times vary by state, city, and election type. Since the current date is November 5, 2025, and voting hours differ across jurisdictions, the best approach is to check the official election or secretary of state site for your specific location and the particular election you’re voting in today. How to find today’s voting hours quickly:
- Look up your state’s or locality’s official elections website or call the local election office to confirm hourly voting times for Election Day.
- If you’re in a large city, check the city clerk or board of elections site for polling place hours and any last-minute notices (for example, lines and in-line voting rules if you’re in line when polls close).
- If you’re voting in a state with uniform hours, common patterns are:
- Many states: 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time (varies by state and locality).
- Some states: 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time.
- Certain localities may start earlier or close later, or require you to be in line by a cutoff even if voting continues during a grace period.
If you share your exact location (state/county/city) and the type of election (local, state, or federal), I can provide the precise, up-to-date hours and any special rules that apply today.
