Poll Books and Election Closing Times
The law requires poll books to stay open until 6 P.M. at the winter election and to keep separate poll books for District Assessors. The presidential election polls close at 4 P.M. as before, since the Legislature has not updated the rule. It is hoped the closing time can be clarified for all elections in the state.
