A Cobb County Superior Court judge on Tuesday ordered eight voting precincts to remain open past the normal 7 p.m. cutoff for polls.
Each of the polling locations opened later than expected Tuesday morning, according to a notice from Cobb County Elections and Registrations. Officials said the delays were caused by minor technical issues at seven of the precincts.
Relentless Church in Powder Springs, 4665 Macland Road, had to be evacuated after a fire alarm was set off in the building. That location will close at 7:10 p.m., the elections office said.
