Kansas spans two zones: most of the state is Central time, four western counties are Mountain time. The statutory default close is the same instant in both zones, 7:00 PM CST = 6:00 PM MST = 01:00 UTC on 4 Nov; the SoS said in 2022 that \"Polls across the state close at 7:00 p.m. local time\" (press release, 8 Nov 2022), which in Mountain-time counties means 7:00 PM MST, so pollsCloseUtc is set to the latest lawful close, 02:00 UTC (8:00 PM CST / 7:00 PM MST). Some Central-time results may appear from 01:00 UTC. In 2022 the SoS election-night reporting page went live at 5:00 PM on polling day and unofficial results appeared after the polls closed (same press release). The window closes at 6:00 AM CST on 4 Nov: an estimate of when the overnight count stops moving, not a published time.
