Newly redesigned polling places in Los Angeles will stay open late after voters reported hours-long lines and glitchy machines on Super Tuesday.

LA County officials said the voting centers would remain open late, to ensure that anyone who was in line by closing time will “get the opportunity to make their voice heard,” County Clerk Dean C. Logan said.

Voting officials didn’t confirm exactly what stunted their operations on Tuesday, but several people reported locations that didn’t open on time and ballot-marking devices that jammed or didn’t work, according to the Los Angeles Times.

It’s the first time the city was using electronic voter rolls, meaning people could cast ballots at any polling centers.

With 5.5 million voters in LA County, it is the biggest voting bloc in California, the night’s cash cow with 415 delegates up for grabs.

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign filed an emergency motion late Tuesday asking an LA County judge to keep the polling places open for an extra two hours.

He swept the state, according to an Associated Press projection.
