A judge in Eastern Pennsylvania is keeping the polls open until 9 p.m. in Berks Co.
According to WFMZ, the Berks County Court of Common Pleas issued an order to keep Berks Co. precincts open until 9 p.m. They are citing widespread problems with the county’s new electronic poll books.
Anyone that arrived to the polling location by 9 p.m. will be allowed to vote by provisional ballot, according to federal law.
WFMZ reports this is only affecting polling locations. Drop-boxes are not affected and closed at 8 p.m.
A Berks County public relations officer told WFMZ nobody’s vote will be affected and the issues were not with the voting machines themselves.
