Voting Hours And Expected Timing For Results
Millions of Americans have already cast their ballots in the 2008 election, but Election Day is still officially November 4, when polling stations from New Hampshire to Alaska will welcome voters during a 24-hour electoral marathon.

Voting by absentee ballot or at early polling stations in nearly half the 50 US states increased dramatically this year compared to the previous election in 2004, with more than 20 million votes cast by Saturday.

But for other voters, Election Day kicks off at midnight Tuesday (0500 GMT) in two tiny towns in the northeastern state of New Hampshire, Hart’s Location and Dixville Notch.

Several voting districts in neighbouring Vermont open next at 5.00 a.m. (1000 GMT) followed by the rest of eastern states where polling stations open at 6.00 or 7.00 a.m.

Across the continental United States, with its four time zones, voting will begin between 1300 and 1500 GMT, with Alaska joining in at 1600 GMT and Hawaii at 1700 GMT.

First results from the election–projections by major television networks based on early returns and surveys of voters after the cast their ballots–can be reported as soon as a state’s polling stations close, the first being in Indiana and Kentucky at 2300 GMT and the last Alaska at 0500 GMT.

Other eastern states end voting between 7.00 p.m. and 9.00 p.m. (0000-0200 GMT Wednesday), though local authorities can extend voting hours if there are still lines of voters waiting to cast ballots at the planned closing time.

While results in races where one candidate has a clear lead could be announced immediately after a state’s polling stations shut, close races can take hours to call.

A surge in voter registration in many US states has also increased the likelihood that some districts may have to extend voting hours, and could drag out the vote counting process.

Most analysts do not expect a result in the presidential race between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain–the point when one candidate musters 270 of the 538 electoral votes up for grabs in the vote–before 0400 GMT at the earliest.
