Election polling hours vary by state and locality, so to answer precisely, the exact location is needed. Here’s a general guide and how to quickly find your specific times:
- General rule: Most U.S. polls open between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. and close between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., local time. Some states have earlier or later closing times, and a few localities may have variations for municipal elections. Check your state or county election website or voter guide for the exact window.

- What to do next for your exact times:
- Look up your polling place and hours on your state or local election office website.
- If you have a voter registration card or recent official voter information guide, it typically lists polling hours.
- You can also use trusted national resources that provide state-by-state openings and closings, updated for Election Day details for 2024–2025 elections.
If you tell me your state or city (and whether you’re asking about a specific election), I can give you the exact opening and closing times and where to verify them. [Cite: state and local election sites]
