DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - At least two DeKalb County voting precincts will be staying open about later than scheduled on Election Day due to late start Tuesday morning.
The voting time at Solid Rock AME Church, located at 4065 Snapfinger Road, will be extended by 39 minutes, the DeKalb Voter Registration and Elections says.
Everyone in line at or before 7:39 p.m. will be allowed to cast a ballot in the Midterm Election.
"An early morning operational delay resulted in a 39-minute delay for voters," said DeKalb VRE Executive Director Keisha Smith. "Overall, we have experienced a relatively smooth Election Day thus far and look forward to quickly addressing any issues that might impact our voters casting ballots today."
Following an order issued by the DeKalb County Superior Court, DeKalb Voter Registration and Elections (DeKalb VRE) is extending voting times until 7:40 p.m. at Lawrenceville Road United Methodist Church, 3142 Lawrenceville Highway in Tucker.
All voters who arrive at Lawrenceville Road United Methodist Church by 7:40 p.m. on Election Day will be permitted to cast a ballot, even if a line has formed.
Other voting sites in DeKalb County will continue to close at 7 p.m. as scheduled.
