Some experiencing long lines at polling sites

FOX 7 Austin's Kacey Bowen has more from one location where some people said they had been waiting for some time.

Earlier the morning the Travis County Clerk's Office also reported some polling issues due to workers not showing up.

During early voting, Travis County saw record numbers with more than 130,000 people participating. According to the Travis County Clerk's Office that's more than a 20% increase from the last presidential election in 2016.

This year's election has attracted thousands of young voters between 18-30 which is the demographic that Travis County has been targeting.

New voting machines are also being used and with the system, voters receive a sheet of paper with all their ballot choices allowing voters to check before inserting it into a scanner. FOX 7 Austin's Jacqueline Sarkissian got a preview of the machine back in February.

Rain or shine the polls will stay open as long as you're in line by 7 p.m.
