Voting at the Polls on Election Day
If you plan to vote in person at the polls this November, be sure to take the necessary precautions to keep yourself and others safe and healthy! The CDC recommends that you cover your face and nose with a mask while in public, as well as maintaining a distance of 6 feet from others at all times. You should also wash your hands often, especially after being in a public place. If you will not have time to wash your hands immediately after voting, use hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Avoid touching your face, mouth, or eyes with unwashed hands.
Also, when you vote in person, remember to bring your ID and facemask!
