Remember, whether you choose to vote early, vote by mail, or in-person, you have options to make voting safe and convenient for you. Learn how to make a plan that’s flexible for your schedule and to get information on when, where, and how to vote.
Check out these tips on how to vote safely in-person on election day — based on the CDC guidelines.
Make a Plan To Vote
In Person:
- Check the deadlines and hours for your polling location — whether you’re doing Early Voting or voting on Election Day.
- Check your state’s COVID-19 Election information before you head to the polls. The information may change daily, so check often.
- Complete a sample ballot at home to speed the process of casting your ballot at the polling location.
- If you’re able, vote early on Election Day — or take advantage of Early Voting if it’s available.
Vote By Mail:
Stay safe from COVID
- Bring your own black ink pen, or a stylus or similar object for use with touchscreen voting machines.
- Wash your hands before entering and after leaving the polling location.
- Masks. The CDC recommends wearing a mask when indoors in public areas. Some counties might need you to remove your mask for identification purposes.
- Bring hand sanitizer. After you cast your ballot, touching doors, or any other shared surfaces: sanitize.
- Be prepared in case you need to wait. Bringing your own snacks and water!
- Stay 6 feet apart. Just like at the grocery store, don’t shake hands, maintain social distancing.
- Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or the inside of your elbow. Throw used tissues in lined trash cans.
