Polling Place in LaGrange To Stay Open Late

Location opened late after election judges didn't show up to work

A polling place in southwest suburban LaGrange will stay open late after a delayed opening.

Emmanuel Episcopal Church, at 203 S. Kensington Ave., will remain open for voting until 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Cook County Clerk David Orr said.

The location opened 35 minutes late, Orr said, because election judges did not show up to work.

Voters registered at Precinct 11 in Lyons Township can vote up to a half-hour after polls close at 7 p.m. across Illinois. Those in line by 7:30 p.m. can still cast their ballot.

The Chicago Board of Elections said it plans to go to court to ask that six election sites be allowed to stay
