Poll Open and Close Times by State

I know, first Monday of the month is supposed to be my personal update, but I decided to postpone it a week this month for a more important message.

If you're a US citizen, no matter what state you're in and no matter which candidates or issues you support, get out there vote!

For those who have already voted via absentee or early voting, good for you! But if you're state doesn't have early voting, please don't let long lines, weather, or what the polls claim be excuses. Even if you feel like your presidential election vote doesn't count, there are other important candidates and issues on the ballot besides the presidential election where your vote will definitely count. And be an informed voter! Don't just vote for the name you recognize because they are the incumbent. You can look up how your senator or representative has voted in the past on various bills, and decide whether or not you really do want to keep them in office.

If you lost the little card with your polling site, you can go to http://maps.google.com/vote.

What time do polls open/close?
I couldn't find a good resource with a nice table of all the poll times for all the states so I looked them all up for you (ok halfway through making the chart I found Vote411 had information for all the states, but it still wasn't an easy chart). Yes, I took the time to do this. You can make sure to schedule some time in your day tomorrow to go vote. All times in local time unless noted. Feel free to send me corrections if you find a mistake.
