Sacramento County plans to have election officers in front of Modoc Hall accepting completed ballots so voters do not have to enter the building, Fitzhugh said. 

Cleaning and safety will be handled by the county, Fitzhugh said. 

Fitzhugh said according to the county, social distancing of six feet will be enforced at all vote centers, all accessible ballot marking devices and voting booths will be sanitized after every voter. Citing the county, she said the Vote Center staff will wear masks and gloves, and plastic barriers will be set up. Gloves, hand sanitizer, masks and one-time use pens will also be available.

Fitzhugh said face coverings are highly encouraged. Student Safety Ambassadors will hold open doors, hand out face coverings and encourage people to physically distance, according to a Sacramento State News article citing Adam Dowrie, University Housing’s assistant director for programming and staff selection.

All of the county’s 84 voting centers and 86 ballot drop boxes can be found on the map published by Sacramento County below.
