Social distancing markers will be on the ground at all locations, and each voter will get their own stylus pen to use while voting. Ballot locations and polls will be regularly cleaned and sanitized, the county said.
Masks will be required. A free one will be provided for anyone who doesn’t have a face covering.
Find the fastest location
Since St. Louis County voters can go to any polling place, the county Board of Elections staff put together a live interactive map that shows line wait times at each location.
Voters can use this map for absentee voting before Election Day and on Tuesday.
