When polls close

When each state's first polls close. ^*States that span two time zones, where the rest close an hour later (hover for the time); results often wait until all of a state's polls have closed. Alaska's and Hawaii's polls close at midnight Eastern, and the far western Aleutian Islands at 1 a.m. Poll-closing times from The Green Papers.

Election-night results from civicAPI, which compiles them from state and local election offices. They are shown for comparison only and are not official; official results come from each state after its canvass. Louisiana's six House races put every candidate on the November 3 ballot; where no one wins a majority, the top two meet in a December 12 runoff, so some may stay uncalled until then.
