When do Texas polls close for the 2024 election? Here's what time to cast your vote by
Texas voters are casting their ballots on Tuesday to choose a president, a senator, state representatives and more. Here's a look at when polls close tonight in Texas.
What time do Texas polls close on Election Day?
Polls in Texas close at 7 p.m. on Nov. 5 except in El Paso, when polls close at 7 p.m. MT, or 8 p.m. CT.
If a voter is in line before the polls close but doesn't cast their vote before the polling location closes, they are still entitled to cast their vote, according to the Texas Secretary of State.
If a voter is sending their ballot in by mail, it needs to be postmarked by 7 p.m. on Election Day.
What time will Texas election results come in?
Even though polls close at 7 p.m., some voters are usually still in line to cast their ballots after that. This means there is no set time for election results to come in, but early voting results are typically released just after 7 p.m.
Since El Paso is an hour behind the rest of the state, major Texas races won't be called until those votes come in. That includes the race for senator and president.
According to Tarrant County, its elections results will come in no later than 1 a.m. on Nov. 6.
Dallas County said it releases early voting results at 7 p.m.
