§ 2561. Hours of voting; extended hours
(a) At all elections using the Australian ballot system, the polls may open no earlier
than 5:00 a.m. and shall open no later than 10:00 a.m. as set by the board of civil
authority in each town. The polls in all polling places shall close at 7:00 p.m.
(b) If at the hour of closing there are any qualified voters at the polling place desiring
to vote, who have been unable to do so since appearing there, the polls shall be kept
open long enough after the hour of closing to allow those present a reasonable opportunity
to vote. A person not present at the hour of closing shall not be entitled to vote,
although the polls may not actually be closed when he or she arrives.
