Elections suspended at several stations in Germany's Wuppertal after World War II bomb found: Officials

Berlin, Sep 26 (UNI/Sputnik) Authorities in the German city of Wuppertal, located in North Rhine-Westphalia, have called on people to abstain from voting at five polling stations due to a World War II bomb found in the area early on Sunday.
"There are polling stations within 500 meter [1600 feet] of where the bomb was found. Citizens wishing to vote here are temporarily prohibited from visiting stations, until the official announcement that the ban is lifted," the city officials stated.
People were evacuated from the buildings that are within 800 feet from the bomb. About 400 people are in a temporary shelter organized at a secondary school. Those who live within 800 feet to 1600 feet from the site of the discovery must remain at home until told otherwise by the authorities.
