LAS VEGAS (BNO NEWS) -- All election results from polling stations in Nevada have been significantly delayed because of a power outage, officials said on late Tuesday evening.

The power outage happened at approximately 5.45 p.m. PDT at Schofield Middle School in southeast Las Vegas, resulting in long lines of people who wanted to vote before polls closed at 7 p.m. PDT. The power outage has since been resolved, but people were still waiting to cast their vote as of 8 p.m. PDT.

"All voters in line at that site as of 7 PM will be allowed to cast their votes," a statement from Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller's office said, adding that no results of any races can be reported until all polling station across the state have been closed.

"There is no estimate at this time of how long any delay might be," the statement added. "We'll keep you posted."

In Nevada, key officials being elected are the state's U.S. Senator and Governor.
