ACLU of Ohio requests extended hours in Delaware County
The ACLU of Ohio today asked local elections officials in Delaware County, Ohio, to extend voting hours at some polling places because polling locations were changed without prior notice to voters. The ACLU of Ohio also asked the Secretary of State to look into the matter. According to a media advisory, Delaware County elections officials sent officials to the former polling places to help direct voters to the correct location. UPDATE: According to this report, the Secretary of State has permitted Delaware County elections officials to provide provisional ballots to those voters who went first to the incorrect polling place and who arrive at the correct polling place after 7:30.
