When will the first election results start coming in?

Tuesday is Election Day, the highly anticipated end to a dramatic presidential campaign.

While we may not know if former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris is the projected winner by the end of the day, state results could start trickling in shortly after polls close, especially in states where the race isn't close.

In 2020, Kentucky and Vermont were among the first states where the Associated Press called the race minutes after the polls closed in each state.

If this election follows a similar pattern, we could start seeing states being called one way or another around 7 p.m. ET.

When do the earliest polls close?

Some states could start reporting results shortly after their polls close. According to 270toWin,

These states are among the earliest to close:

Indiana - Polls close at 6 p.m. ET in most of the state

Kentucky - Polls close at 6 p.m. ET in most of the state

Florida - Polls close at 7 p.m. ET in most of the state

Vermont - Polls close at 7 p.m. ET

Virginia - Polls close at 7 p.m. ET

South Carolina - Polls close at 7 p.m. ET
