Polling Place Hours Extended In Chester County

WEST CHESTER, PA — Chester County polling places will remain open until 10 p.m. Tuesday night after issues with key voter information in the morning.

All polling places across the county were lacking the names of third party voters in the polling books, officials said.

Those voters had to cast provisional ballots instead, while election officials scrambled to find the right books.

"All Chester County polling locations will remain open until 10:00 p.m. under a judicially approved extension of voting hours," the county said in a statement. "Any registered voter who has not yet voted may vote during regular hours, or may cast a provisional ballot at their polling place between 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m."

The mail-in ballot deadline remains 8 p.m. and is now past.
