[...] The first polls close in Kentucky at 6:00 p.m. ET – so the first projections, based on exit polls, could come soon after. Georgia and Virginia close voting at 7:00 p.m. ET, but we’re more likely to see projections from Virginia since Georgia is one of the swing states and is likely to be a later call.
North Carolina (another swing state) and Ohio close their polls at 7:30 p.m. ET. By 8:00 p.m. ET, it’s likely that projected victories will be called in several east coast states.
More Western states will close their polls at 9:00 p.m. ET and 10:00 p.m. ET, with California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska and Hawaii all reporting their first results at 11:00 p.m. or later.
When will votes from the swing states be known?
That’s a more complex question. The Harris campaign says it expects results from three swing states — Georgia, Michigan, and North Carolina — on election night, and Georgia has said it expects results by midnight tonight. Wisconsin’s results should be tallied by Wednesday morning.
Arizona and Nevada will likely take a day or two longer. And Pennsylvania, which might be the most important state, could take a while as well.
How long will it take for Associated Press and networks to call a state’s results in the 2024 presidential election?
There’s no set time for how long AP takes before calling a win for a candidate. Based on the 2020 results, though, we can make some estimates.
Four years ago, AP made a projection within one hour for 31 states. Another 15 were called within a day. Swing states took five days or longer, but votes are expected to be tallied a bit faster this year.
