JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Despite widespread cancellations of events and activities across the nation in effort to stop the coronavirus from spreading, voting will go on.
“We are doing everything we can to protect them,” said Mike Hogan, Duval County supervisor of elections.
On Monday, the 199 precinct managers picked up cleaning supplies. They are required every hour to clean the booths and equipment.
“Every hour we are going to be wiping down the voting booth, all the equipment that is in the voting room,” said Bertha Oliver.
Hogan said the best time to come is at off-peak times, which is in the middle of the day to avoid close contact in long lines.
Hogan also said 60-100 volunteers called out because of coronavirus concerns. But, he said, they still have enough volunteers for Tuesday.
