Polls in New York City generally close at 9:00 PM Eastern Time on Election Day. If you’re in line by 9:00 PM, you’re still allowed to vote even after closing. For the 2025 general election, that 9:00 PM close time applies across all five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island).
