A dedicated vehicle for transporting verified patients will arrive at its address, pick up the voter and drive him to the designated polling station. The shuttle vehicle will wait until the end of the voting and will be returned to his home.
Those who are in isolation cannot reach the special polling stations by public transport and must arrive by private car. If he does not drive, he must sit in the back seat with the windows open and wear a mask.
Is it safe to go to the polls?
The Election Commission has taken a number of measures to ensure the safety and health of voters at the polls. The number of voters at each ballot box will be diluted so that there will be fewer voters at each ballot box. While waiting for the vote, prominent markings will be placed on the floor and marking tapes that will help maintain a distance of two meters between citizens. The polling stations will have ushers who will avoid congestion at the entrance and exit of the polls. In addition, a transparent partition will be placed in the polling station between the members of the polling committee and the voter. Displays and disinfectants will be placed on all ballots, and masks must also be deposited. Polling stations and desktops will be continuously disinfected.

No. Voting a sick or isolated person in a “regular” ballot box is against the law. The police will conduct sample tests (using tablets) in the areas of the regular polling stations, to locate the isolation violators.

Upon arrival at the polling station, the voter must remove the mask from his face for identification. As soon as he is identified by the members of the polling committee, he will put the mask back on his face and begin the voting process itself.
