Seven precincts open until 8 p.m.
Polls in seven precincts in suburban Cook County will stay open an extra hour to 8 p.m. today after they were late opening this morning.
The voting sites are St. Catherine La Borne School and Cole Park in Glenview, Lincolnwood Place in Lincolnwood, Covenant Village in Northbrook, McClure Junior High School in Western Springs, Washington School in Maywood and Victory Center in Melrose Park.
Clerk David Orr petitioned to keep the polling places open after election judges were either late or locked out in the morning, and Judge Robert Bertucci granted permission in what Orr spokeswoman Courtney Greve called “standard protocol.”
She added that she didn't expect it to cause any additional delays in the vote count beyond the extra hour.
