On Tuesday, voters heading out in person will be safe, county officials have said.
Polling places will be disinfected with sanitizing spray by Bucks County Emergency Services workers leading up to voting and also once casting of ballots concludes.
County officials said supplies of personal protective equipment for poll workers will be available, including gloves, hand sanitizer, high-grade disinfectant wipes, and masks and face shields have been acquired for polling places. Plexiglas dividers to separate workers from voters, extra pens for marking ballots, and microfiber cloths to wipe down voting machine screens will also be used.
