Tag: Poll Closing Times

Below is a list of key House, Senate, and gubernatorial races, arranged by poll closing times. States with multiple closing times are listed in order of their earliest closing, with the exception of Oregon (where most of the state is in the Pacific time zone). All times are Eastern, not local.

Below is a list of key House, Senate, gubernatorial and state legislative races, arranged by poll closing times. (Asterisks indicate open seats.) A list of key ballot measures can be found here. States with multiple closing times are listed in order of their earliest closing, with the exception of Oregon (where the bulk of the state is in the Pacific time zone). Once again, all times are Eastern, not local.

Now with color-coded map! A little rough-hewn, but you get the idea (I love David, but I’m afraid we’ll have to keep him away from the crayolas from now on. Here’s a somewhat better-looking map–James L.):

Note: States with two poll closing times are color-coded according to the earlier closing time, except for Oregon, where the majority of the state is in the later time zone. And if you can’t see the map, click here for a mirror link. And just to be clear, these times are all Eastern, NOT local. Also, it looks like voters in some precincts of Indiana will be able to vote until 9pm local.

All times are Eastern. Please note that some states are split across two time zones and consequently have two different poll closing times. I’ve split the affected states up accordingly, which is why there are more than 50 listings.

Also, we haven’t tried to list every single possible race here, just those that we (James & I) feel are potentially interesting. As I say, we’ve confined ourselves just to Congress and the statehouses. Here are some other resources you might want to consult:

• For important Secretary of State races, check out the Secretary of State Project.

• To get a sense of which state legislatures are up for grabs, take a look at this chart from the DLCC (PDF).

• And for a complete list of ballot measures nationwide, this guide from the I & R Institute (PDF) is the definitive source.

If there are any worthy races you’re following that aren’t on this list, please post them in comments, preferably with a link to a site that will be posting the results. (You usually can’t find returns for smaller local races on CNN.) Also, if you notice any errors, please let us know as well.

(Special thanks to the Green Papers, which was the source for all the poll closing times.)
