Voting Process
Level D PPE for Polling Station Staff
Voting Method for Voters in Quarantine
Ballots were prepared according to the number of quarantined voters, with the polling station managing
affixing their signature and the serial number on the corner of the ballots cut in advance in the presence
of observers.
The polling station staff, with the assistance of the support staff, ushered the quarantined voters to the
temporary polling booth, individually, according to the number on their tickets.
The staff at the temporary polling station sanitized the polling booth and the polling instruments with
sanitizing tissue, every time a voter finished voting.
COVID-19 Precautions
Voting observers kept two meters or more away from voting when observing. Only the designated
polling station staff, quarantined voter and observers were allowed to enter the temporary polling
booth and refrained from dialogue as much as possible.
