Wondering when the polls close on Election Day 2024? Check out our hour-by-hour guide on poll closing times across the nation!

As Election Day 2024 approaches, an important question lingers in the minds of many voters: What time do the polls close in my state? It's an often-overlooked detail that can make or break your voting experience. While some states wrap up their polling as early as 6 PM, others keep their doors open till 9 PM or even later! It's crucial for all American voters to know their local cutoff time to ensure their voices are heard.

On the East Coast, expect the earliest poll closures in states like Indiana and Kentucky. As voting hours roll across the nation, the last states to wave goodbye to their election stations will be Alaska and Hawaii. Yes, you read that right! While some states are celebrating victory in early evening, our friends in the farthest state west will still be casting their ballots. It’s almost like a voting marathon, and guess who’s still in the race at the finish line? Hawaii!

Particularly crucial are those swing states that everyone’s eye is glued on. States like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan are peaking voter interest, not just for their historic significance but also due to their potential for changing the electoral tide. As we all know, every vote counts and swing states can tip the scale towards one candidate or another. On Election Day, these states become battleground arenas, with poll hours extending to ensure everyone gets a say in these highly contested locales.

As we gear up for the polls on November 5, don't forget to check out the state-by-state list for exact closing times. Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, being informed is key. And while you’re at it, did you know that turnout for midterms is usually lower than for presidential elections? In fact, the 2022 midterms saw the lowest participation since 2014! It turns out that while everyone loves a good presidential showdown, many Americans tend to snooze during the more local, yet equally important, elections.
