Originally, polling locations in Fulton and DeKalb counties were planned to close at 7 p.m.
Voters who arrive between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. will be allowed to vote on local races, but not in the special election for the Public Service Commission.
Those voters will be given provisional ballots to ensure they’re only voting on Atlanta races.
