                      COVID-19 safety measures
                      The AEC is factoring in the rapidly changing COVID-19 environment into our provision of voting services
                      and throughout the broader by-election process.
                      For this by-election, we are implementing a range of safety measures, consistent with advice sought
                      from government health authorities. This will include guidance for voters regarding appropriate social
                      distancing and hygiene in the polling place. Hand sanitizer will be available and voting screens will be
                      regularly cleaned by AEC staff.
