Voting machine issues are reportedly causing disruptions at polling locations in Apache County, Arizona, with some voters being turned away, according to Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren. In a social media post, President Nygren urged voters not to leave polling sites without casting their ballots, writing, “DON’T GET TURNED AWAY FROM THE POLLS!”
“Apache County voters, we understand that voting machines are down, and some voters are being turned away without casting a ballot in the federal and state elections,” he wrote, urging voters in areas experiencing issues to request a provisional ballot and present a government-issued photo ID to ensure their vote is counted.
“If you are denied a provisional ballot, contact the Native Vote Hotline,” he said, stressing that voters should stay at their polling location until they have voted.
