DC Primary Election Results 2020: Polls Close

Update Thursday, June 3, 10 a.m.: Final results from D.C. Board of Elections.

WASHINGTON, DC — Voting centers that were set to close at 8 p.m. Tuesday remained open hours later due to long lines at the polls during the D.C. primary. The D.C. Board of Elections made the decision in April to close all 144 voting precincts to stem the spread of COVID-19, the illness associated with the new coronavirus.

Although voters were encouraged to vote via mail-in ballots to prevent the spread of the virus, in-person voting at 22 polling places drew thousands, according to the Board of Elections.

D.C. election officials would not release any results until all in line had voted, officials said in a statement before 10 p.m.

Mayor Muriel Bowser confirmed during a Tuesday morning press briefing that even though there will be a curfew in effect from 7 p.m. Tuesday to 6 a.m. Wednesday, District residents will be able to vote until 8 p.m. Tuesday and not be in violation of the curfew. As long as people were in line by 8 p.m., they would be able to vote.

I waited 4.5 hours to vote in DC’s primary tonight. The line when I left @ 9:30pm was even longer than when I arrived. The delay seemed due to only 2 people checking in voters standing in line. ~10 voting machines but only 2 ppl able to use them at any given time.
