Notes

Polling places in states that span multiple time zones will close either synchronously or asynchronously.

  • (Note *S) With synchronized closing, all the polls close at the same GMT/UTC time. For states with multiple time zones-- when polls close in the advanced local time zone, they will close one hour earlier in the lagging local time zone.
  • (Note *A) With asynchronous closing, the polls close at different GMT/UTC times in different parts of the state. Media outlets might decide to declare a winner before all the polls have closed.

Massachusetts Special Primary: Polls close synchronously on Tuesday 30 April 2013 at 8:00p EDT (0000 UTC). By local option, municipalities may open their polls as early as 5:45 a.m.

Massachusetts Special Election: Polls close synchronously on Tuesday 25 June 2013 at 8:00p EDT (0000 UTC). By local option, municipalities may open their polls as early as 5:45 a.m.

Massachusetts Special Primary: Polls close synchronously on Tuesday 15 October 2013 at 8:00p EDT (0000 UTC). By local option, municipalities may open their polls as early as 5:45 a.m.

Massachusetts Special Election: Polls close synchronously on Tuesday 10 December 2013 at 8:00p EST (0100 UTC). By local option, municipalities may open their polls as early as 5:45 a.m.
