\"\"Bismarck (CSi) \u00a0 \u2013The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) is reminding all North Dakotans to use standard COVID-19 health precautions when voting this season. Individuals should check for updated voting locations and requirements<\/a> before voting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you follow proper precautions, voting can be done with less risk,\u201d\u00a0said Disease Control Director Kirby Kruger. \u201cThe easiest steps are still the most effective, including wearing a face covering, staying home if you’re sick, complying with voluntary quarantine and washing your hands. Also be sure to maintain a safe distance when waiting to vote.\u201d<\/p>\n

North Dakotans should also consider other ways to vote, such as early voting if available or ballot drop-off boxes. Voting alternatives that limit the number of people you encounter or the amount of time you are in contact with others can help reduce the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Voters can minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission at polling locations by following these tips from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>.<\/p>\n
