the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Actions
include training for election officers; limiting the number of people inside
each polling place at one time; providing hand sanitizer and cleaning supplies
at each polling place; using extensive signage and floor markers; and providing
plexiglass shields between voters and staff where needed. Alexandria Medical Reserve Corps volunteers
will serve as ambassadors to encourage proper mask use and physical distancing
in outdoor lines and indoor polling places. Prior to resuming operations at the regularly scheduled opening time on
Wednesday, November 4, all recreation center polling locations will receive
enhanced deep cleaning as a safety precaution.
