On November 3, 2026 (Election Day), Los Angeles County's official registrar and multiple news outlets report that in-person polls and vote centers were open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., so the claim that polls were open until 8 pm holds. The claim matches the post's wording and no source contradicts it.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
