### When do the polls close in battleground states on Election Day?

The winner of the election will come down to seven states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

**Arizona:** Polls close at 9pm Eastern Standard time on November 5 (ET) – which is 3pm November 6 NZT. Arizona doesn’t announce its tallies until all precincts have reported or one hour after all polls are closed, whichever is first.
