6 Cook County Precincts Remain Open Extra Hour After Late Start: Clerk

CHICAGO — As polling places around Illinois begin to wrap up voting for Tuesday’s primary election, voters in six polling places around Cook County will have an extra hour to cast ballots, the county clerk’s office said.

The six precincts all opened late on Tuesday, the clerk’s office said in a news release and after a judge issued the clerk a court order allowing polls to remain open until 8 p.m., the six precincts were able to allow voters to cast votes later than expected.

The polling places open for an additional hour include:

• Kennedy School, 1013 Division St., Chicago Heights (Bloom Township Precinct 12)
• Golf Middle School, 9401 Waukegan Rd. Morton Grove (Niles Township Precinct)
• Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, 1114 N. 22nd Ave., Melrose Park (Proviso Township, Precinct 14)
• Roosevelt School, 1927 S. 15th Ave., Broadview (Proviso Township, Precincts 44 and 88)
• Douglas MacArthur School, 1800 Chippendale Rd., Hoffman Estates (Schaumburg Township Precinct 31)

As a result of the polls remaining open at the five locations, suburban results will not be available on the Cook County Clerk’s website until after 8 p.m. when the six precincts have closed.
