estimate

Polls are open from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and "all voters at the polls, including any in line to vote, shall be permitted to vote" (RSMo 115.407). Missouri is entirely on Central time, so polls close at 7:00 PM CST = 01:00 UTC on 4 Nov. The SoS Election Night Reporting site shows unofficial county and statewide results as they come in. The window closes at 6:00 AM CST on 4 Nov: an estimate of when the overnight count stops moving, not a published time. Military and overseas ballots received before noon on Friday 6 Nov are still counted (RSMo 115.920), and provisional ballots are counted after eligibility checks (RSMo 115.430).
Intermediate count
Fri 6 Nov, 12:00 → Tue 17 Nov, 23:59
announced

Local canvass by each election authority's verification board. Military and overseas ballots count if received "before noon on the Friday after election day so that certification under section 115.508 may commence" (RSMo 115.920), i.e. noon on 6 Nov 2026. "Not later than the second Tuesday after the election, the verification board shall issue a statement announcing the results" (RSMo 115.507.1), and by the same day each election authority must deliver to the Secretary of State its abstract of votes for U.S. Representative and other listed offices (RSMo 115.507.4). The second Tuesday after 3 Nov 2026 is 17 Nov 2026; the window closes at the end of that day, Central time.
