THREAD: Here's how @ElectionsBC and the government plan to do safe voting during the pandemic. Planning for a pandemic, in general, began in April #bc #bcndp #bcpoli #elections #electionBC #COVID19 @PGMatters
There's nothing completely surprising about how voting will work in person as the usual distancing rules and guidelines. Masks are required but if you don't have one, one will be available #bcpoli #electionsbc #bcndp #cityofpg #COVID19 @PGMatters
Voting options are voting in person at an electoral office, advance voting, on election day and mail in voting #bcpoli #cityofpg #bc #bcndp #ndp #COVID19 @PGMatters
So as per Elections B.C., usually, there is just one per cent of ballots that are sent in by mail. This election, they say it could be as high as 35 per cent, due to COVID-19 #bcpoli #cityofpg #bcndp #electionsbc @PGMatters #covid19
Here's what a voting package will look like. We will post more information about that in our story later on #bcpoli #covid19 #bc #bcndp #cityofpg @PGMatters
Lastly, there will be services provided for at-risk voters including vote by mail, assisted telephone voting and other methods #bcpoli #covid19 #electionsbc #bc #cityofpg @PGMatters
Schools will be requested to use on Saturday and Sunday advance voting days and election day on Oct. 24 and NOT be used on days kids are in the facilities. Extra cleaning will also be done at schools used on weekends #bcpoli #electionsbc #cityofpg #bc #bcndp @PGMatters
Elections B.C. has said they already have had roughly 20,000 requests for voter packages #bcpoli #electionsbc #cityofpg #bc #bcndp @PGMatters
Should there be a need for a voter(s), curbside voting will also be available officials say #bcpoli #electionsbc #cityofpg #bc #bcndp @PGMatters
