Election night in America generally follows the sun and polling station closing times from east to west.

CNN projects who will win races as data becomes available.

While some non-competing states may be expected shortly after polls close, others could take hours.

The map is situated so that former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, could see his side of the electoral vote grow quickly after the polls close early, especially if there are previous predictions for more populous red states like Florida and Ohio.

Some of the biggest vote mines for Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, have polling places that close later, including those in California and New York.

Here’s when the polls close and how many electoral votes are at stake each hour:

Polls are closing statewide in the first six states, including battleground Georgia, which has 16 electoral votes. Who knows when there will be enough data to predict a winner in either of these states.

It’s also important to note that polls in some parts of Indiana and Kentucky are closing early, at 6:00 PM ET. It will take some time for projections, even in some more solidly red or blue states. Most polling places also close at 7 p.m. in Florida, but the panhandle closes at 8 p.m. and there will be no statewide projections until all polling places in a state close.

Georgia’s foreign minister has said that 70% of votes could be counted by 8 p.m., thanks to early voting and pre-processing of ballots.

Polls are closing in another battleground, North Carolina, as well as in two red states.

Most polling places are currently closing in Michigan and Texas. but some provinces don’t close until 9 p.m
