Cobb County
A judge has signed an order to keep the Sope Creek 02 precinct in Marietta open an additional 20 minutes, county officials said. There was a delayed opening this morning due to a late-arriving poll manager.

At the time the poll opened, due to technical issues workers did not begin processing voters until 7:40 a.m. All voters in line until 7:40 p.m. will be allowed to vote.

Houston County
The county annex precinct will remain open until 7:40 p.m. after it failed to open on time, a judge's order said.
Richmond County
Mount Vernon Baptist Church had a delayed opening due to poll workers experiencing problems with the electronic poll books, elections officials said. Because of the 15 minute delay, the precinct will remain open until 7:15 p.m.
Spalding County
All 18 precincts in the county will be open until 9 p.m. following issues this morning with polling pads, causing a nearly two-hour delay in getting the polls open for voters.
Spalding County Elections Director Marcia Ridley said the people who make the voting machines caught the issue at 7:05 a.m. and said a technician had to go to each precinct to reset the poll pads.
One voter told 11Alive that she saw a lot of people leaving once they said the machines were down.
