MUNCIE — Polling sites in Delaware County will remain open until 8:40 p.m. today to make up for voting time lost this morning when machines didn’t work.
Circuit Court 5 Judge Wayne Lennington ruled this morning that polls could remain open the extra 2 hours and 40 minutes past the regular closing time. Election board members petitioned for the extended hours after programming problems prevented Delaware County voting machines from working correctly until about 8:30 a.m. today.

County Clerk Karen Wenger reported that blue cards used to activate the voting machines were programmed incorrectly. MicroVote reprogrammed the cards and the machines were working by around 8:30 a.m. Officials did not know yet why the cards had been programmed wrong.
