Maps show when polling stations open and close on Election Day

Polling stations will be open at different times across the United States on Election Day Newsweek has put together a map of the different times.

There is also no federal mandate over how each state collects its ballots, so each member of the Electoral College votes, counts and submits their ballot slightly differently.

Results for each state will be available at different times, and perhaps the most significant, Pennsylvania, won't be announced until Saturday, Nov. 9, according to a statistician.

Early voting has resulted in over 60 million voters having cast their ballots in this election – although counting restrictions in several states have meant that some key swing states have not yet begun counting early votes.

What time does voting start and end in my state?

The first state to open its doors to waiting voters at 5 a.m. EST was Vermont. The last to begin voting is Hawaii, which begins at 12:00 p.m. or 12:00 p.m. EST. Both states are safely blue and are expected to support Vice President Kamala Harris.

The state of Oregon operates entirely on a mail-in system, meaning no in-person polling locations need to open.

Vermont is also the first state to close its polls at 7 p.m. EST. This means voters have 14 hours on election day to cast their vote. Other states have smaller windows; New Hampshire starts at 7 a.m. and ends at 8 p.m., giving voters 13 hours instead.

The latest polling place to close is Alaska, which will close its polling station doors at 1 a.m. the morning after Election Day.

5 a.m.: Vermont

Vermont first opens its polls at 5 a.m. and has even already returned some results. It is also among the first states to close its stations.

6 a.m.: Connecticut, Kentucky, Maine, New Jersey, New York and Virginia

The first major list of states to begin polling covers most of New England, including Democratic strongholds like New York and Virginia.

6:30 a.m.: North Carolina, Ohio and West Virginia

7 a.m.: Alabama, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Wyoming

The largest round of voting begins at 7 a.m., when most of the Midwest, the rest of New England and most of the South begin voting.

8 a.m.: Arizona, Iowa, Minnesota, Mississippi, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin

By 8 a.m., nearly all swing states will have started voting after Wisconsin and Arizona open their polls.

8:30 a.m.: Arkansas

9 a.m.: Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah

Nevada will be the final swing state to begin voting at 9 a.m. ET, joining other western border states and the remaining mountain states.

10 a.m.: California and Idaho

11 a.m.: Washington and Alaska

Noon: Hawaii

When will the results be announced?

Results from swing states Georgia and North Carolina are scheduled to be announced Tuesday evening as those states complete polls earlier than the West Coast and Midwest.

Partial results from Pennsylvania, Arizona and Nevada are expected after midnight.

The election will be called when either Harris or Trump receives 270 or more Electoral College votes. This means not every state has to finish counting for a winner to be declared.

According to statistician Arnon Mishkin, who led Fox News' decision division during the last election, the results could be announced on Saturday, November 9, when Pennsylvania is expected to complete the count.

A senior Wisconsin official said results from their swing state could be available shortly after midnight if early vote counting goes according to plan.
