No, the first ballots will not be announced until after the polls start closing. And exit-polling will be incredibly inaccurate to the point of being useless.
Fivethirtyeight has a great page with how it breaks down state-by-state, in terms of when polls close and how soon to expect results.

Plus an hour-by-hour breakdown:

Some states will have early votes pre-counted and announce those within an hour of polls closing or less, with election-day results coming in later. Others don't start counting until election day.
