223 Illinois precincts ordered to stay open
(CNN) -- A judge in Kane County ordered all 223 precincts in the county to stay open an extra 90 minutes tonight, until 9:30 p.m. EST, according to Jay Bennett of the Kane County Clerk's office. She say problems were primarily in 17 precincts in the northern part of Kane County, but the judge decided to keep all the polling places open. The county was using an electronic voting system called eSlate, first used in the March primary.
The clerk's office in Cook County said two suburban precincts will stay open for an extra hour because they opened an hour late for undisclosed reasons. One precinct is in Cicero and the other in Bloom Township near Chicago Heights. |
