While these are closing times, that only means that polling locations will stop allowing people to enter the line (and from experience, I know even that rule is flexible). So if you get there close to closing time and you see a long line, don’t worry, you’ll still get your chance to make a difference, no matter what the time.

First results are expected to come out around closing for each state or, in the case of multiple closing times, closer to the earliest one.
