Despite the pandemic and widespread protests over police brutality, elections are moving forward today in eight states and D.C. In some cities, curfew orders conflicted with polling place hours.
But the in-person voting options that are also required to be offered in many places create a unique problem.
In Philadelphia, for instance, officials are trying to reassure voters they won't be arrested for voting in the Pennsylvania primary if the city decides to extend a 6 p.m. curfew to Tuesday. Polling places will stay open in the city until 8 p.m. "Philly residents will not be arrested or prosecuted for going to or coming from voting tomorrow," District Attorney Larry Krasner told NPRon Monday."No curfew is going to interfere with any voter going to the polls. Please do not let these circumstances dissuade you."
Similarly, the District of Columbia's Board of Elections announced that vote centers, which are scheduled to be open until 8 p.m., would not be affected by a 7 p.m. curfew order in the city. "Voters at Vote Centers and election workers are permitted to be at Vote Centers at 7, and are allowed a reasonable amount of time to get home," the board tweetedAcross the country, jurisdictions are also having to adjust their in-person voting options to reduce health risks and accommodate massive poll worker shortages.
