Elections officials in Madison are giving voters at one polling place an extra hour to vote because of a fire alarm earlier in the day.
 
City officials say the polls at East High School will remain open until 9 p.m. because of concerns that the alarm prevented some Ward 29 residents from voting.
 
All other polling locations in Madison will close at 8 p.m., but voters who are in line at 8 p.m. will be allowed to cast their ballots.
 
The extension is not expected to delay the reporting of election results elsewhere.
