Officials with the Milwaukee Election Commission say several polling locations inside Milwaukee Public Schools buildings opened later than the required 7:00 a.m. start time this morning.
They say the delayed openings stemmed from an overnight Milwaukee Public Schools building access system update that unintentionally restricted early access to some school buildings.
According to election officials, the issue was resolved quickly, and the delays were brief, with the latest location opening around 7:40 a.m. Officials say election staff worked with school personnel to ensure the sites opened as quickly as possible.
