Be safe … keep 1.5 metres apart at the polling booth (Photo: AEC)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 26, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you voted yet? If not, the pre-polling booths are still open today and tomorrow … but if you’re planning to head out on Saturday, there’s a few things voters have been asked to keep in mind.<\/p>\n

“Vulnerable people”, ie. those aged 60 and over, are being encouraged by the Electoral Commission of Queensland to vote between 9:00am and 11:00am if voting on Election Day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All other voters are being asked to vote outside these hours …<\/p>\n

And everyone at the polling booths should practice the social distancing rules, ie. keep 1.5 metres apart and avoid shaking hands.<\/p>\n

Hand sanitiser should be available at the polling booth locations for the use of both voters as well as staff.<\/p>\n

You won’t see candidates or their helpers handing out How-To-Vote cards as this has been banned. However, you may still be able to pick up a How-To-Vote card yourself off a static display.<\/p>\n

Voters have also been encouraged to BYO pen or pencil with them to vote.<\/p>\n

And get in and out of the polling booth as quickly as possible. Don’t hang around to socialise or have a chat … and there will be no cake stalls or “democracy sausages” sizzling outside.<\/p>\n
