In the 2024 U.S. election, voting times vary across states, impacting when early trends are expected. In November 2020, it took four days after the polls closed for Joe Biden to be declared the winner of the U.S. presidential election. This delay was due to narrow margins in key battleground states, which required recounts, and the large number of mail-in ballots that needed to be processed after Election Day. Additionally, the election took place amid a global pandemic.Since then, some states have updated their election laws to expedite the counting process. However, while the results may be available sooner this time, it is certain that the winner will not be announced on election night itself.Here’s a statewise breakdown in IST to help you follow the results closely:Poll Opening and Closing TimesConnecticut Polls Open: 6:00 AM EST (4:30 PM IST) Polls Close: 8:00 PM EST (6:30 AM IST) Early Trends: 7:30 AM ISTDelawarePolls Open: 7:00 AM EST (5:30 PM IST)Polls Close: 8:00 PM EST (6:30 AM IST) Early Trends: 7:30 AM ISTDistrict of Columbia (D.C.)
