The United States has entered Daylight Saving Time, and the shortest difference with Beijing time is now 13 hours.
Tomorrow is Election Day in the United States. The voting hours on Election Day typically start around 6-7 AM at polling stations and close between 7-9 PM. The specific opening and closing times are determined by the laws of each state.
After the general voting ends, states will gradually tally the votes, with preliminary results starting to be announced based on Eastern Standard Time.
The time zones in the continental United States are divided into Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific Time. The election results will also be announced progressively according to each state's time zone.
If everything goes smoothly, the election data can gradually be announced on the night of Election Day, converted to background time.
Voting will stop at 9 PM on November 5, and then counting will begin. If the data is announced that night, the progressive announcement will likely occur between midnight on November 5 and the early morning of the 6th in U.S. time.
In terms of China time, this corresponds to the afternoon of November 6, so we won’t have to stay up late. After 9 AM on November 6, we can closely follow the announcements of election data, while for other times, we will need to wait patiently.
