North Carolina’s State Board of Elections recently held an emergency meeting to address reported technical issues at two precincts, resulting in an extension of voting hours. The board approved an additional half hour of voting at polling locations in Burke County and Wilson County, allowing them to remain open until 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
In Wilson County, located east of Raleigh, voters experienced delays due to printer malfunctions, preventing them from casting their ballots for approximately an hour. State election board spokesperson Patrick Gannon confirmed that the issue was resolved, ensuring that voters could exercise their right to vote.
