Voting during COVID-19

At our Voter Service and Polling Centers

All election judges must wear provided disposable masks at all times while working. We will supply enough masks for each judge to receive a new mask each day they are assigned to work. Any judges handling ballots, including at our drive-through drop off and pick-up locations, will also be supplied with disposable gloves to wear when assisting voters.

At our voter service and polling centers, all election judges, voters and observers must observe 6 feet of physical distancing at all times inside and outside VSPCs. Plexiglass shields will also be set up in front of all registration judge stations to protect voters and election judges.

Election judges will disinfect all surfaces, secrecy sleeves, pens and clipboards voters touch, including voting booths and voting tablets, between each use. Hand sanitizer will be widely available at all voter service and polling centers.

In our Ballot Processing
Rooms

All election judges must wear provided disposable masks at all times while working. We will supply enough masks for each judge to receive a new mask each day they are assigned to work. Any judges who will be handling ballots will also be supplied with disposable gloves to wear. Watchers must also wear masks while observing in ballot processing rooms. Masks will be provided if needed.

Election judges and full-time staff must observe 6 feet of physical distancing at all times in the ballot processing rooms. Rooms will be staffed at reduced levels to ensure that judges can maintain distance. Watchers will also be expected to observe 6 feet of physical distancing while observing in ballot processing rooms. Every accommodation will be made to ensure they can observe all election processes while maintaining physical distance from election judges and staff.

All surfaces, pens and equipment will be disinfected on at least an hourly basis in all ballot processing rooms. Hand sanitizer will be widely available and election judges and staff will be discouraged from touching their faces while working in the ballot processing rooms.
