Sacramento County elections officials report 10 of the 84 county vote centers are experiencing long lines and long waits, including waits of up to two hours at the South Natomas vote center.

Officials have begun setting up outdoor polling booths at the Natomas site to reduce the wait time there.

Officials are asking voters who planned to go to those centers in the afternoon or evening to look up nearby vote center sites instead. Voters can download the county’s SACVOTE app on their smart phone from the app store. It will show where the next nearest vote centers are located.

The centers with the largest capacity for fast voting are Golden 1 Center arena downtown and Sacramento State University.

The congested centers are:

Sylvan Oaks Library

Hillsdale Baptist Church

Depot Building

Koreana

APAPA

North Highlands-Antelope library

Orangevale Community Center

South Natomas Library

Robertson Community Center

University of Phoenix

State officials say voter turnout this election has been hitting record levels. Go to sacbee.com for more election coverage.
