Fulton County in Georgia will likely approach a court to extend polling hours at select locations affected by non-credible bomb threats until 7:30pm ET, according to a Georgia official with knowledge of the request, CNN reports.

That same official also told CNN that there are two polling places in Cobb County that are permitted to stay open until 7:20pm ET and one location in Gwinnett County that will request an extension until 8pm. ET, the official said.

Extending polling hours would push back the one-hour window when precincts must report results, though most precincts are still expected to send in results by the original time of 7pm ET.
