What time do polls open on Election Day? What to know for all 50 states

Republican former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democrat, will face each other in the Nov. 5 presidential election.

If you plan to vote in person, it's important to know where your polling precinct is located and, maybe equally importantly, what time it opens. It all depends on which state you live in, and sometimes on your county or municipality.

Most states open their polls at 7 a.m. local, but some start voting as early as 5 a.m. or as late as 10 a.m.

You can check USA TODAY's voter guide or visit Vote.gov and USA.gov for more information on voting and voter registration, which in some states is open through Election Day. All times are local.

Some states don’t have a uniform statewide start time. In New Hampshire, Tennessee and Washington, polls are open depending on your county or municipality.

In others, there’s a window of time in which polling is supposed to start. In North Dakota that’s 7-9 a.m. and in Vermont 5-10 a.m.
