Due to the coronavirus pandemic, voters will be required to wear a face covering when entering a polling place. Also, due to social distancing measures in place, voting may take longer than usual, so voters should plan accordingly.

Voters who have requested and received an absentee ballot by mail, but who then change their mind and want to vote in person, must bring the ballot with them to the polling place in order to vote. This will likely also cause a longer-than-normal wait time for the voter because of the process involved in surrendering the ballot.

Before you leave to vote, check your registration status a final time to make sure you're registered to vote.
