Polls will be open on Tuesday as usual. There will be masks and gloves available for the poll workers to use if they want as well as face shields. They will also have hand sanitizer and disinfectant to use on each of the machines after each voter uses it and also to clean the pens at the poll books after each voter signs in. All of that was provided the Indiana Secretary of State’s office.
