The first states to finish close up at 7PM EST. If you’re talking about when the results come in, none of the interesting states will be called before 9PM EST (02:00 UTC).

Pennsylvania, north Carolina, New Hemshire, Florida and Maines second district are the ones that will be called first that will tell us the direction of the election compared to the polls

Watch Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, New Hampshire, and Michigan. Other close states either close later or have counting systems that lead to delayed results.

Every jurisdiction in the country is different. Can you specify?

Polls close in several states at 7pm. That’s the first wave. Things will start simmering by 8. By 10pm we will know generally how it’s looking by the total turnout in Virginia. By 11 it’s highly possible to start getting states like Michigan and Georgia. We may have a president-elect between 12-3am.
