A voting precinct in Georgia will keep its doors open later on Election Day because of technical issues that prevented people from voting electronically.

Officials told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution the Annistown Elementary School precinct in Gwinnett County, Ga., will stay open until 7:25 p.m., nearly 30 minutes after the polls in Georgia typically close.

The precinct had problems with ExpressPoll, which checks voters in and verifies their ability to vote. The technical issues led to lengthy lines and caused poll workers to begin issuing paper ballots to voters, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Joe Sorenson, a spokesman with Gwinnett County, told the newspaper voters would have an extra 25 minutes to cast their ballots because poll workers tried first to resolve the technical issues with ExpressPoll before issuing paper ballots.

In addition to the technical problems at the Annistown Elementary School precinct, glitches with ExpressPoll were also reported at three other precincts in Gwinnett County.

The governor's race in Georgia between Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams is one of the country’s most closely watched this election cycle. If Abrams is victorious, she will become the nation’s first black female governor.

The race has been one of the most contentious, as Kemp faced accusations he used his position as Georgia’s secretary of state to suppress minority voters.

Kemp and Gwinnett County election officials were named in a federal lawsuit last month over the county’s rejection of absentee ballots.

Kemp came under scrutiny again after his office announced Sunday that it launched an investigation into the Democratic Party of Georgia in connection with failed efforts to hack the state’s online voter registration system.

The secretary of state’s office did not provide any evidence of the attempted breach.
