What Time (AEDT) Will We Start To Get Early Results Of The U.S Election In Australia?
The U.S. general election is typically held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. For example, in 2024, Election Day will be November 5.
The polls in the U.S. generally start closing around 7 PM local time in various states, which is often when early results begin to come in. Given the time difference between the U.S. and Australia, particularly Australia Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT), which is UTC+11, the results will start to come in at different times.
For example, when polls close on the East Coast of the U.S. at 7 PM EST (UTC-5), it will be 11 AM AEDT the following day (Wednesday).
So, if you are looking to catch early results, you can expect to start seeing them from around 11 AM AEDT on the day after the election. However, keep in mind that the timing may vary slightly depending on specific states and the pace at which results are reported.
