It says one way systems, enhanced cleaning, social distancing and limited numbers in polling stations at any one time will ensure the venues are Covid-19 secure.
Voters can keep themselves and others safe by:
• wearing a face covering (unless exempt)
• bringing their own pen or pencil to use
• sanitising their hands when entering and leaving the polling station
• keeping a safe distance from others when inside the polling station and when arriving at and leaving the polling station
