<br />Addition to COVID-19 Preparedness Plan <br /> <br /> <br />City Elections <br />At polling stations keeping voters at least 6 feet apart is ideal based on what is known about COVID-19. If <br />this is not feasible, efforts should be made to keep individuals as far apart as is practical. Feasibility of <br />strategies will depend on the space available in the polling station and the number of voters who arrive at one <br />time. Election judges can: <br /> Increase distance between voting booths. <br /> Limit nonessential visitors. For example, election judges should be encouraged not to bring children, <br />grandchildren, etc. with them as they work the polls. <br /> Remind voters upon arrival to try to leave space between themselves and others. Encourage voters to <br />stay 6 feet apart if feasible. Signs will be provided to help voters and workers remember this. <br /> Discourage voters and election judge workers from greeting others with physical contact (e.g., <br />handshakes). Include this reminder on signs about social distancing. <br /> <br />If feasible access and egress will be in a one-way direction. Rooms will be sanitized before and after each <br />election as will door handles, chairs, and tables. Election judges will clean and disinfect voting-associated <br />equipment (e.g., voting machines, laptops, tablets, keyboards) routinely as well. <br />
