Times show when most polls in each state close. Hours are set by state law and, in some states, by county or town; check your election office for your polling place. In these states the last polls close later, because part of the state is in another time zone or counties may set later hours: Florida (8:00 p.m.), Idaho (11:00 p.m.), Indiana (7:00 p.m.), Kansas (9:00 p.m.), Kentucky (7:00 p.m.), Michigan (9:00 p.m.), South Dakota (9:00 p.m.), Texas (9:00 p.m.).
