The Downballot's 2024 poll closing times map, sponsored by 314 Action

With versions for every U.S. time zone and more

The Downballot is pleased to present the 2024 edition of our famous poll closing times map, sponsored by 314 Action!

A message from our sponsor:

314 Action is the only organization working to train, recruit, and elect Democratic scientists in the nation. Since 2017, when Donald Trump declared war on science, we’ve supported more than 1,000 Democratic scientists!

This year we’re supporting the largest number in American history! We’re supporting Democrats in the six best Red-to-Blue opportunities in the nation. Control of the House, Senate, and nearly a dozen state legislatures will be decided by their races. Read more about our pioneering work and how we’re transforming the political landscape: 314action.org/db.

This vividly colored map will let you know when to start checking returns in each state on election night. Some well-known users include Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama!

Note that all times on the above map are Eastern, not local. You can download maps keyed to each U.S. time zone covering the 50 states below:

Hawaii | Alaska | Pacific | Mountain | Central | Eastern

In addition, we’ve created versions for several other time zones, including for U.S. territories and those home to large numbers of Americans living abroad, particularly members of the armed forces:

Chamorro | Samoa | Atlantic • Berlin | Tokyo

We also have a version of the Eastern time zone map with each state’s closing time individually labeled, to aid those who are color-blind.
