US election day: When do voting polls close, what time does voting end today?

 The much-anticipated US election 2020 has now arrived and despite a record-breaking 99 million early voters, millions of Americans will cast their ballots on election day. In an election that has been dominated by the coronavirus pandemic and civil unrest, the US will choose whether US President Donald Trump should be given a second term in office or if Democrat Joe Biden is the best to lead the country out of its current health crisis.

When do voting polls close?

The US election 2020 will be held today, on Tuesday, November 3.

The opening and closing times for polls vary depending on where in the country you’re voting from.

Most polls open at 6am and the latest stay open until 9pm local time, such as in New York.


In states including Vermont, voters will be able to cast their ballots from 5am local time.

All polling stations will have shut by 9pm local time on November 3.

In some states, eligible voters will be allowed to vote after the polling station has closed if they were already in the queue.

The first polls close in large parts of Indiana and Kentucky at 6pm ET (11pm GMT).

Parts of those states are in multiple time zones, so timings will vary.
