estimate

Polls are open "from six o'clock in the morning until nine o'clock in the evening" at the general election (NY Election Law § 8-100(2)); all of New York is Eastern time, so polls close at 9:00 PM EST = 02:00 UTC on 4 Nov. The State Board of Elections posts unofficial results as counties report. The window closes at 6:00 AM EST on 4 Nov: an estimate of when the overnight count stops moving, not a published time or a 2022 data point (the State Board's pages could not be loaded). Absentee ballots postmarked by election day are accepted if "received by such board of elections not later than seven days following the day of election" (§ 8-412), i.e. 10 Nov, and federal write-in absentee ballots until thirteen days after (§ 9-209), i.e. 16 Nov; these are added later.

For a gubernatorial election § 9-214 also requires a district-level tabulated statement "on or before the tenth day of December". The window opens at the start of 17 Nov (an estimate: after the 13-day ballot-receipt period) and closes at the end of 30 Nov, Eastern time.
