INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Indiana's largest county is getting its largest early voting site.

The Marion County Election Board voted Friday to allow early voting at Lucas Oil Stadium in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The stadium will include 56 voting machines and eight poll pads, more than at any other site, Deputy Director of Elections Brent Stinson said, bringing relief for people facing long lines at the county's six other early voting sites, The Indianapolis Star reported.

The web site indyvotetimes.org showed a wait time of 215 minutes, or more than 3 1/2 hours, at 10:30 a.m. Friday at the nearby City-County Building.

Thousands of Marion County voters spent hours in lines to cast early ballots over the past week despite five more early voting sites that opened up last Saturday.
