Polling places are open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Election Day. Any voter in line at 7:30 p.m. will be able to vote. The busiest times tend to be early in the morning and just before the polls close. Avoid longer lines by voting at off-peak times.

COVID-19 Safeguards in Place

Significant precautions will be made to protect voters and election workers against the transmission of COVID-19. These include:

• Enforcing social distancing at polling places and early voting sites
• Providing hand sanitizer and masks for voters and election workers who do not bring their own
• Providing gloves and face shields for election workers
• Erecting barriers between election workers and voters at check-in tables
• Providing single-use pens in counties that use hand-marked paper ballots and Q-tips for voters who use ballot-marking devices
• Frequently cleaning surfaces and equipment in polling places and early voting sites
• Recruiting poll workers who are less vulnerable to the virus

Important: The State Board asks that all voters respect the right of others to participate in the election. Intimidating any voter is a crime. Voters who feel harassed or intimidated should notify an election official immediately.
