When Will Presidential Election 2012 Results Be Announced?

Pennsylvania voters have until 8pm to cast their Election 2012 ballots, but voting in other key swing states ends as much as two hours later, and exit polling could provide an early indication of whether President Obama or Mitt Romney wins the White House.

The earliest key state to watch for is Virginia, where polls close at 7pm EST.

Voting ends 30 minutes later in swing states Ohio and North Carolina. At 10pm EST swing state Iowa close the polls.

Nevada, the final swing state that could prove as pivotal as Iowa, also closes its voting at 10pm EST.
