When Will Presidential Election 2012 Results Be Announced?

Iowa's voting goes until 9 p.m., but some polls elsewhere close earlier.

Iowa voters have until 9 p.m. to cast their Election 2012 ballots, but voting in other key swing states ends as much as three hours before then, and exit polling could provide an early indication of whether President Obama or Mitt Romney will win the White House.

The earliest key state to watch is Virginia, where polls close at 6 p.m. Iowa time.

Voting ends 30 minutes later in the swing states of Ohio and North Carolina. As Michigan's polls close, the swing states of Florida, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire close their polls, too.
