HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- It's Election Day and while record numbers have already cast their votes, others are waiting to enter the polls after reports of system issues.

The polls opened up at 7 a.m., and what is supposed to be a quick in and out process is taking longer than intended.

One of the reported locations with issues was Madding Elementary School at 8511 Cresmont in southeast Houston.

According to a technician on scene, the front desk iPads were not connecting to the internet which caused check-in problems for voters.
