With sensible health measures implemented in polling booths, ECQ’s commitment to delivering a COVID-safe State general election. ECQ ask electors to plan the way they’ll have their say in the 2020 State general election.... This means thinking about bringing your Voter Information Card if they have one, staying 1.5 metres apart when voting, using hand sanitiser, and bringing a pen or pencil if they wish. DISTRIBUTION of HOW-TO-VOTE CARDS will be allowable for the election, in accordance with a Direction issued by the ECQ. However, campaign workers will need to comply with social distancing guidelines and hygiene standards and NOT RE-USE HOW-TO-VOTE CARDS.
