In Indiana and Kentucky, polls also began opening at 6 a.m. ET, with some locations in the central time zone starting an hour later at 7 a.m. ET.
Maine saw the majority of its polling locations open at 6 a.m. ET, but municipalities with populations of less than 500 people have the option to open as late as 10 a.m. ET, providing flexibility for smaller communities.
