COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS AT POLLING PLACES
The Wisconsin Election’s Commission has a full set of guidelines, and a short video, here, detailing all efforts being taken to make in-person voting a safe experience today. A list of safety precautions and tips can be found below.
Your visit to your polling place may include:
- If your polling place has any lines, you will be asked to maintain social distancing. There may be markers/tape on the ground to indicate 6 feet, but if not, please maintain at least 6 feet of distance between yourself and others.
- Voters are highly encouraged to wear face coverings in their polling place or in any line waiting to vote or enter the polling place.
- If you have any symptoms of COVID-19, including a cough, sore throat, fever of greater than 100.4 degrees, sudden loss of taste, or if you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, you are encouraged to consider voting curbside from your vehicle. Curbside voting procedures are outlined below.
- You will be asked to use hand sanitizer or wash your hands before voting.
- You will be asked to state your name and address and provide your photo ID. Poll workers may be social distancing, so they may ask you to set your ID on the table and back up, or they may be behind Plexiglas dividers.
- Interactions with poll workers and other voters should be brief or avoided and you should try and move through the voting process quickly.
- You will be provided a ballot and you can go vote at a poll booth or accessible voting machine. Poll workers are regularly sanitizing these areas throughout Election Day.
- Lastly, you will insert your ballot into the ballot box or tabulator. You may use hand sanitizer again if you choose.
Tips (optional):
- Bring your own blue or black pen.
- Bring a face covering with you.
- Prepare ahead and consider voting curbside voting if you are immunocompromised, have a disability, or have been exposed to or have symptoms of COVID-19. See details below.
