Some suburban Cook County polls places staying open late

Four suburban Cook County precincts, including one in Prospect Heights, will stay open for voting until 8 p.m. because their polling places opened late, Cook County Clerk David Orr announced.

Polling places in Skokie and Prospect Heights opened late because the buildings were locked Tuesday morning, and a polling place in Oak Park opened late because of absent poll workers.

The precincts that will remain open late are:

• Wheeling Township Precinct 16, Willow Heights Condominiums, 844 E Old Willow Road, Prospect Heights.

• Niles Township Precincts 23 and 64, Devonshire School, 9040 Kostner Ave., Skokie.

• Oak Park Township Precinct 12, Oak Park Arms, 408 S. Oak Park Ave., Oak Park.

Eligible voters at these precincts are permitted to vote up to one hour after the statewide poll-closing time of 7 p.m. Any voters - including those taking part in election day registration - who are in line by the 8 p.m. deadline will be allowed to cast a ballot.
