An Arizona state judge has ruled that nine polling locations in Apache County must stay open until 9 p.m. local time after experiencing voting machine and printer issues earlier in the day. The affected locations include Lukachukai, Lupton, Rock Point, Dennehotso, Chinle, Cottonwood, Wheatfields, Fort Defiance, and St. Michaels.
The decision to extend voting hours was made by Judge Michael Latham, who stated that due to the technical problems, voters may need to fill out provisional ballots. These provisional votes will be sequestered and treated accordingly.
