These metro Atlanta polling sites are staying open late on Georgia's primary election day

Here's a list of polling locations that are staying open late on primary election day.

ATLANTA — Georgians are heading to the polls throughout the day to vote on Georgia's primary election day.

Voters will determine the nominees for a number of races including governor, U.S. Senate, important U.S. House districts and other state offices.

Polls are traditionally set to close at 7 p.m. on election day, but some locations in the region will remain open past that time. 

Here's a list of polling locations that are staying open late:

Fulton County

Two sites had delayed openings due to "technical issues," a county elections official said in a Tuesday morning press conference. As a result, Hopewell Middle School and Creel Park precincts will stay open 20 to 30 minutes after 7 p.m.

The county is awaiting a court order.

Cobb County

According to a Cobb County spokesperson, two precincts will stay open until about 15 minutes after they had a late start this morning.
