Covid-19
Polling stations will be made Covid secure to ensure voting can take place in safety. Everyone who comes to a polling station will be asked to wear a face covering unless they are exempt. Social distancing measures will be in place and hand sanitiser will be available. We will be limiting the number of people inside each polling station, so some queuing may be required. Anyone who would rather not cast your vote in person, can request a postal vote instead (apply by 20 April).
