Now that Steve Scalise is the official Republican nominee for House Speaker, the first vote is expected to begin around 3 PM Eastern, 12 Noon Pacific.
Edit
First public vote has been delayed, it could happen at any time.

"The earliest the full House could have a floor vote on the next speaker would be 3 p.m. That’s because the House adjourned on Tuesday until that time.
There is no required waiting period. Since Republicans have now emerged with a candidate, McHenry can bring the vote up on the floor. In the past when speakers died in office or resigned, the House usually moved directly to electing a new speaker.
There would first be nominating speeches for the speaker candidates, typically offered by their close allies.
The vote itself would be done “viva voce” — meaning members stand when their names are called by a reading clerk and verbally announce whom they are supporting for the position. Members can vote for anyone (even people who are not members of the House), vote present, or not vote at all."
Couldn’t shake this feeling last time, seems equally appropriate now:
“Master of the house, doling out the charm
Ready with a handshake and an open palm
Tells a saucy tale, makes a little stir
Customers appreciate a bon-viveur
Glad to do a friend a favor
Doesn’t cost me to be nice
But nothing gets you nothing
Everything has got a little price!”
