We’re looking at the potential impacts of COVID-19 for people working and voting in the 2020 General Election and referendums on 19 September.

Read more about our planning for COVID-19

The Electoral Commission has put a range of measures in place to help keep voters and election workers safe from COVID-19. These measures meet the public health requirements of Alert Level 2. It is important to have consistency across all our voting places so voters and staff know what to expect even if parts of the country are at different Alert Levels. It also gives voters and staff a greater level of protection from COVID-19 if Alert Level 1 is in place in their area.
