When does the 2024 Iowa caucus end, and when did results for previous election years come in?
Washington — The Iowa caucuses are set to get underway Monday evening, as the GOP presidential hopefuls set their sights on the Hawkeye State and the possibility of a first-in-the-nation boost to kick off the primary season. But exactly when a victor will emerge remains unclear.
What time does the 2024 Iowa caucus end?
The caucuses are set to begin at 7 p.m. CT and will likely conclude within an hour, when vote counting will commence. But timing differences are expected between the more than 1,600 precincts throughout the state that vary in size.
What time have results for past Iowa caucuses come in?
The timing of the results can vary greatly.
In 2020, technical difficulties prevented full votes from becoming available in the Democratic caucuses for multiple days. In 2016, the caucuses were called for Republicans before midnight, while they were called for Democrats around midday the next day. And in 2012, while the Republican race was initially called early the next morning, days later it was officially called for a different candidate.
Do we know when 2024 results will come in?
For smaller precincts, the results may be available within an hour, according to The Des Moines Register, while results in larger precincts are expected to be tallied for the next few hours.

Legendary TV icon Betty White will be honored in 2025 with a stamp, the U.S. Postal Service announced on Friday.
The “Golden Girls” and “Mary Tyler Moore Show” actor “shared her wit and warmth with viewers for seven decades,” the news release from the USPS read.

“The comedic actor, who gained younger generations of fans as she entered her 90s, was also revered as a compassionate advocate for animals,” the USPS said.
The image of White, who died in 2021, was created based on a 2010 photograph, the USPS said. The USPS said the list of new stamps released on Friday is a partial one, with additional stamps to be announced in the coming weeks and months.
“This early glimpse into our 2025 stamp program demonstrates our commitment to providing a diverse range of subjects and designs for both philatelists and stamp enthusiasts,” said Lisa Bobb-Semple, stamp services director for USPS.
White launched her TV career in daytime talk shows when the medium was still in its infancy and endured well into the age of cable and streaming. Her combination of sweetness and edginess gave life to a roster of quirky characters in shows from the sitcom “Life With Elizabeth” in the early 1950s to oddball Rose Nylund in “The Golden Girls” in the ’80s to “Boston Legal,” which ran from 2004 to 2008.
White died in December 2021. She was 99 and just a few weeks shy of what would have been her 100th birthday on Jan. 17.
When asked how she had managed to be universally beloved during her long career, White summed it up with a dimpled smile: “I just make it my business to get along with people so I can have fun. It’s that simple.”
The USPS said it will also honor pianist and composer Allen Toussaint, who died in 2015 at the age of 77.
