On Election Day, key results will come from seven battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. These states are crucial for candidates to secure the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win. Polls in Arizona open at 8 a.m. and close at 9 p.m. Georgia's polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Michigan's polls open at 7 a.m., with most closing at 8 p.m. Nevada opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m. North Carolina polls open at 6:30 a.m. and close at 7:30 p.m. Pennsylvania and Wisconsin polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., respectively. In 2020, results from these states were reported at various times, with significant delays in some cases. This year, the timeline for results will again depend on when polls close and how quickly votes are counted.
