Power at Brookens Center Restored

Just hours to go before polls close, the Brookens Center in Urbana lost power, but power has now been restored.

On his Twitter page, Champaign County Clerk Gordy Hulten said all election operations after 7 PM will occur at Brokens as planned. For a short time, Hulten had said the outage may affect the release of unofficial results, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore.

Ameren has not yet released a cause for the outage.

Polls close at 7 PM.
