when do california polls close

California polls today close at 8:00 PM local time. If you’re in line by 8:00 PM, you can still vote, and drop-off options are typically at the polling place, county elections office, or official drop boxes. For California- specific election details, you can check your county’s election page or the state’s elections portal for any county-by-county variations or late-breaking updates.
