The polls are open in dozens of states for the midterm elections — see what time they close
To make sure you don't run out of time to make your voice heard, Business Insider has broken down the rules by state in the chart below.
Polling places will be open nationwide to the public for Election Day Tuesday, November 6.
Though polls are generally open from early in the morning into the evening, open and close times vary by state.
If you are in line to vote when the polls close, stay there. States have laws requiring people be allowed to cast their ballots if they were in line.
