Airy, and poll worker Maria-Odilia Romeu demonstrate the new electronic poll pads, which replace the handwritten binders volunteers used to keep track of voters during an election. Century said the day started slowly with about 60 of the neighborhood's 840 residents voting by 9:30 a.m., with more than 200 having already voted by mail.

Voters and poll workers in Chestnut Hill start the day at the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields.

Turnout was light in the morning hours at Mastery Pickett Charter School in Germantown.
