In addition to wearing a mask or shield, remember to keep your distance when possible. Stand at least 6 feet away from others at all times, even if you are in line or voting.
Practice good hand hygiene
Good hand hygiene habits are going to be important for a long time — so be sure to practice them when you vote, too.

Be sure to either wear gloves or immediately wash your hands and use hand sanitizer after touching these items.
