Pima County Recorder's Office employees are back to work after being force to evacuate the Public Service Center downtown after a suspicious package was found in the packing garage late this afternoon.
Tucson Police Department's bomb squad inspected the item in the parking garage, located at 240 N. Stone Ave, and employees were out of the building for roughly an hour.Β
During the evacuation staff were unable to answer questions about voting eligibility, polling locations and other voting-related issues.
County Recorder F. Ann Rodriguez added 15 more operators to resume handling voter assistance phone calls after being let back into the building at about 6:35 p.m.
The evacuation temporarily slowed the county's ability to verify ballot signatures, which could mean fewer results could be available tonight.
Polls closed at 7 p.m.
