Polls in Nashville and nearby areas will open an hour late on Super Tuesday due to damage from a tornado that tore through parts of Tennessee this week.
Polls in Nashville and Wilson County will now open at 8 a.m. CST, the Tennessean reported. The polls will still close according to schedule at 7 p.m. CST.
Election officials in Nashville announced several alternate polling sites to help voters amid the damage from the storms, according to the outlet.
Officials said that voters in several precincts will be forced to vote in other locations because their original polling places did not have power or were inaccessible.
At least 19 people were killed in the storms late Monday and early Tuesday, CNN reported. A number of homes and other structures were destroyed, and tens of thousands were without power in the region on Tuesday.
Two people died in Nashville, as well as 14 people in Putnam County, approximately 80 miles east of Nashville. Three others also died in Wilson and Benton counties.
The Nashville Fire Department tweeted early Tuesday that they were responding to approximately 40 structure collapses around Nashville.
