CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- More than 2,600 people are still without power in Kanawha County after Sunday's Storm.

Phil Moye with Appalachian Power says most of the power outages are in the Eastern part of the County. The biggest areas effected include Elkview, Glasgow, Cedar Grove, Quick, Clendenin, and Pinch.

We're told most of the power will be restored by Monday night, but some won't have their power restored until Tuesday night.

Moye says the power company is in close contact with the County Clerk's office to make sure all the voting precincts have power for Tuesday's Primary Election.

He says if the power is not restored at some of the polling places voters could be sent to an alternate location. He says that decision will be made sometime Monday night.

A spokesperson with the County Clerk's office says they hope all the power is restored, but they are considering the possibly of changing some of the polling places because of the power outages.
