If you’re voting today, your best option is to check your local election office’s official site or your state’s voter portal for real-time guidance on polling places, voting hours, and any location changes. Brief guidance by region
- United States (general approach): Look up your state or county elections office or use your state’s official voter portal to find your exact polling place and hours for today. Polling hours typically range from early morning to evening, and some areas allow in-line voting even if the official closing time has passed. If you’re in line at closing, you can usually vote. Check for any last-minute changes or advisories.
- United Kingdom: Local election polling stations are published by local councils. You can find your polling station and hours on your council’s website or the national electoral site. Photographic ID rules may apply depending on the election type.
- California (example): Use the official Secretary of State site or your county elections office to locate your polling place, early voting sites, and ballot drop-off locations.
- Other regions: If you’re elsewhere, search for “[Your State/Region] find polling place” or “how to vote today” on the official government elections site for authoritative, up-to-date details.
