Article 66
 

Polls may not be closed until eight hours have elapsed from the time they were opened and not until half an hour has elapsed since the last voter appeared. Polls may, however, be closed once everyone on the register of electors has cast a vote and after five hours have elapsed if the entire election board and the agents agree thereto and provided half an hour has elapsed since the last voter appeared.
Polls shall, however, be closed no later than 10 pm on election day. Voters who have presented themselves prior to that time, however, shall be entitled to cast their votes.
