when do ny polls close

Polls in New York City for Election Day 2025 are open from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM Eastern Time. Voters who are in line by 9:00 PM will be allowed to vote, even if processing continues after polls close. For other parts of New York State, polling hours similarly generally run from early morning to 9:00 PM, with the in-line rule applying at 9:00 PM in many jurisdictions (but always verify local county specifics). If you want real-time status or the latest wait times, check the official NYC Board of Elections site or your local board of elections page.
