US Election 2024: What time does polling close in each state (US timezones and IST)?

While some states anticipate reporting nearly all results by the following day, others will be delayed due to a mix of mail ballots, provisional votes, and late-arriving ballots, each state differing in its counting processes and deadlines. The differences in early vote reporting are expected to create temporary vote shifts, especially in swing states. Mail-in ballots are likely to skew initial results in favour of Democratic candidates in certain areas, while same-day in-person votes may show early Republican leads.
