Texas primaries: When polls close and how quickly results arrive
Polls in most of Texas close at 8 p.m. ET, with the far western edge (El Paso) closing at 9 p.m. ET; CNN won’t project statewide races until the full race is closed, though some congressional races may project starting at 8 p.m. ET. Early results typically come quickly, often with more than half of ballots reported in the first hour and the majority by midnight, but statewide tallies can spill into the early morning. The article also notes North Carolina’s results may be delayed due to a precinct issue and Arkansas polls closing at 8:30 p.m. ET.
