What Time Do Polls Open?

All across the country people are asking this question, “what time do polls open.” In my state, Virginia the polls open at 6:00 am.  This is from the Virginia State Election Board website…

When is a good time to vote?

That depends. According to the State Board of Election site, “Election Day polls are traditionally busier from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., during the lunch time hours of 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and after work from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.” Those wishing to avoid long lines should aim to cast their vote during the less busy times during polling hours.

I would imagine that these busiest times would be pretty consistent around the country but your State Board of Elections website will probably have some additional information for you area.

It seems that many states polls don’t open until 7:00 am. You will have to Google your states election site to find out what time your specific state’s polls open. I was unable to find a single source reference to the question, “what time do polls open.”

I was able to find this neat map below that shows the times the polls close all across the country. As to the question of “what time do polls open” you are on your own. This is an important election. Please find the time to vote. It’s your duty as an American citizen.

Hoping my guy wins,
