A judge has granted the Luzerne County Election Bureau’s request to keep the Laflin Borough’s polling place open until 9:30 p.m., an hour and a half after it was scheduled to close.

The county Election Bureau and the Board of Elections requested permission to extend voting in the location after it opened an hour and a half later than it was supposed to.

All polling places in Pennsylvania were scheduled to open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.

Elsewhere, in Cambria County, a judge granted permission to the election board to keep polling places open until 10 p.m. after issues with their voting machines caused long lines and delays.
