Indiana and Kentucky are the first states to end voting in the US presidential election

At 18:00 on November 5th, Eastern Time (7:00 on November 6th, Beijing Time), except for individual congressional districts, Indiana and Kentucky in the United States successively closed polling stations in various places, becoming the two states that ended voting the earliest in the 2024 US presidential election, and the counting of votes began immediately. Local time on the 5th is the official voting day for the US presidential election. Due to time zone differences and different state regulations, the voting end time of each state on that day is not the same. The state that ended voting the latest was Alaska, which ended at 1:00 a.m. on the 6th, Eastern Time (2:00 p.m. on November 6th, Beijing Time). Hawaii was the second to last state to end voting, and voting ended at 0:00 on the 6th, Eastern Time (1:00 p.m. on November 6th, Beijing Time). If the election is not very stalemate, major US media may predict the winner on the night of the election. Otherwise, it may take a few days to determine who the winner is. (Jinshi)
