MONTGOMERY COUNTY ELECTION UPDATE

Montgomery County experienced a problem with some of its electronic poll books in a limited number of precincts this morning. Those affected voters were permitted to cast a provisional ballot. Replacement electronic poll books were delivered to the impacted precincts and all precincts in Montgomery County are up and running utilizing the touchscreen voting system. The polls will remain open until 8:00 p.m. this evening.  All individuals in line at 8:00 p.m. will be permitted to vote.

The Board recognizes that some people may not have been able to wait this morning to cast a Provisional Ballot and apologizes for the inconvenience this may have caused.  Voters are encouraged to return to their polling place later today; remember, anyone who is in line at their polling place at 8 p.m. will be allowed to vote.
