ST. CLAIR COUNTY, Ala. (WBRC) - Due to what is being called a “printing issue,” some ballots in St. Clair County were missing the state-wide and local amendments; because of that, polling hours at some precincts were extended until 9 p.m.
In a social media post, Probate Judge Andrew Weathington said the first round of corrected paper ballots is on its way to St. Clair County. Corrected ballots will begin arriving at polling locations between 1:30 and 1:45 p.m. and will continue to arrive in similar intervals for the remainder of the day.
You must be in line by 9 p.m. to vote. All ballots submitted before polling locations were instructed to cease distribution of the incorrect ballots will be counted.
“Many people have come together, and they are doing everything in their power to ensure the residents of St. Clair County are able to vote today,” Weathington said. “We are grateful for your patience.”
The following polling locations will be open until 9 p.m.:
Ashville City Hall
