Due to a power outage at the Newark Free Library, voters in the city's Second District will have to relocate to submit their ballot on Tuesday night.

The city of Newark sent a release that District 2 voters will vote at the Alder Creek Community Room located at 101 Terrace Drive rather than at the Newark Free Library.

Polls will remain open until 9 p.m. Tuesday for District 2 voters. All other polls will close at 8 p.m.

Democrats are once again attempting to expand voting access in Delaware, even after the state Supreme Court ruling overturning vote-by-mail.
