150 INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCES OF CONDUCTING ELECTIONS DURING COVID-19

COVID-19 has caused a widespread impact and disruption around the world. The CEC has been
maintaining a high level of vigilance and taken strict prevention measures while conducting elections.
The CEC has successfully accomplished the local by-election and made considerable efforts to prevent
the spread of the virus to better ensure the health and safety of voters and the poll workers.
The CEC’s prevention measures in the local by-elections were provided to the Association of World
Election Bodies (A-WEB), and an article about the same was published in the Newsletter February
2020 for the A-WEB 115 member election management bodies’ reference.

Poll workers were required to wear masks.
