U.S. Election Day Voting Timeline (Singapore Time)
November 5, 13:00, Voters in two towns in New Hampshire are the first to cast their votes
November 5, 19:00, Polling stations in most states across the U.S. begin to open, and the election commences
November 6, 8:00-11:00, Polling stations in various states gradually close, followed by the start of ballot counting procedures
November 6, Closing times for polling stations in 7 key swing states
Polling stations in the 7 swing states that have a decisive impact on the election results will also close within this timeframe, with Georgia and North Carolina being the states likely to have preliminary results first. Media organizations will begin reporting and predicting winners in certain states based on the counting results.
- Georgia 8:00
- North Carolina 8:30
- Pennsylvania 9:00
- Michigan 9:00/10:00
- Wisconsin, Arizona 10:00
- Nevada 11:00
Michigan covers two time zones, so most areas in the state will start reporting results at 09:00 Beijing time on November 6, while some voters in the Upper Peninsula will continue voting until 10:00 Beijing time.
Arizona will release voting results one hour after all polling stations close or after all precincts report results.
Nevada will only announce results after the last voter in line has cast their ballot, so historically there is a waiting period between the closing of polling stations and the first results being released.
November 6, 12:00 onwards, Election results may be tentatively confirmed
As more states' counting results come in, the national election results gradually become clearer. However, if the election remains tight, it may take longer to finalize.
