What Time Do The Iowa Caucuses Begin And End?

The Iowa Caucuses begin at 7 p.m. Central Time (8:00 Eastern). Supporters of the GOP hopefuls are allowed to make five-minute speeches in support of their candidates, and then votes are cast. The results are then posted online, they are counted, and a winner is declared.
