A voting site in the key swing state of Pennsylvania has been evacuated after being stormed by ‘disruptors’.

Multiple people burst into the Centre County election office in Bellefonte shortly after 7pm ET Tuesday.

That triggered an evacuation by local police, according to the Centre County Report. 

Polls do not close in Pennsylvania until 8pm ET. The identities of the disruptors have not been shared and no further details on their behavior have been released.

It is also unclear if they are supporting Donald Trump or Kamala Harris. 

Centre County Report journalist Haley Jacobs shared a clip of the scene, with multiple locals forced to stand in a parking lot while cops probe the disruption.

Bellefonte sits in Central Pennsylvania. Centre County voted Democrat in the most recent presidential election, with Joe Biden winning 51.4% of the vote to Donald Trump’s 46.7%.

Local officials have yet to say what steps they’ll take to ensure anyone booted from the election office will be able to cast their vote if the disruption continues after 8pm.

Polling stations have started to close across the United States, with Kamala Harris so-far projected to have won Vermont, while Donald Trump has emerged victorious in Kentucky.

Recent polls have shown the race too close to call – with Pennsylvania widely seen as the swing state that could end up deciding the race if it remains as close.
