8:10PM | The polls are now closed statewide but Long Beach voters may need to wait a while until they can see the live results pour in online as the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk is experiencing technical difficulties.

A link which displays live updates as ballots are counted failed to show local races including Long Beach’s Seventh and Fifth District council races and a Long Beach Unified School District board member race.

This comes after county officials announced this afternoon that nearly 120,000 county voters’ names were omitted from rosters at several polling places in Los Angeles County, including Long Beach, resulting in voters needing to vote provisionally, and some voters being erroneously turned away. What impact this will have on the vote counting process, if it will trigger a recount, or what other issues may surface is not yet known.
