What time do the polls close in Mississippi?
SUMMARY: On Election Day, Americans will vote in various races, from local offices to the presidency. A guide is available for polling place closing times across the states. Although initial results may emerge soon after polls close, final tallies could take longer, particularly in close contests. Some municipalities may vary in their polling hours. For example, in Alabama, polls close at 7:00 p.m. CT, while California’s close at 8:00 p.m. PT. To better understand when results may be reported, voters are encouraged to verify their polling location’s hours in advance.
