Multiple precincts in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, experienced issues with the vote-counting machines early morning, election officials said — but people were still able to cast their ballots, CNN reports.

“Prior to the opening of the polls, the Bedford County Elections Office received calls from several precincts around the county reporting an issue with the tabulator machines. We identified the issue and sent support teams to resolve the problem,” Jeffrey Gable, the county’s elections director, said in a statement. .

“The ability to vote has not been impacted and at this time all sites are being addressed.”

About 50 miles away in Cambria County, officials have requested that voting time be extended after a “software malfunction” disrupted voters’ abilities to scan their ballots.

The Pennsylvania Department of State is working with county officials to address the issue, spokesperson Matt Heckel said.
