§ 5866 Polling Hours And Closure
This law says polling places must be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on election day, and anyone still waiting in line at 8 p.m. can still vote.
Maria gets to the voting site at 7:55 p.m., but the line is long and she hasn't voted by 8 p.m.
Because the law lets anyone still in line after 8 p.m. vote, Maria can go inside and cast her ballot even though the official closing time has passed.
