Message from our Supervisor of Elections, Wendy Sartory Link

Primary Election August 18

Election Day is around the corner, and Early Voting begins in two weeks. As Supervisor of Elections, my team and I are working around the clock to make sure Early Voting and Election Day polling locations are clean, safe, and follow all CDC guidelines. Protecting the health and safety of our voters and poll workers during COVID-19 is a top focus for me as your Supervisor of Elections. We are taking proactive measures to make sure you are safe and ensure every vote counts. Here is my Voter Safety Plan:

• Disposable thermometers will be used to take poll workers’ temperatures before working.
• Poll workers are now provided with disinfectant supplies and instructed to sanitize voting booths and common areas frequently.
• Poll workers will be using PPE, including masks, face shields, and gloves throughout the day.
• Hand sanitizer will be available for use at each polling location, and gloves will be available for voters upon request. • Social distancing tape is being installed at polling locations. • Voters are allowed to bring their own pens to mark their ballot and sanitized or single-use pens will be available for voters as well.
• My office has hired more poll workers to ensure we are staffed up in case of last-minute cancellations.
• Voting by mail is easier than ever before for those who want to vote at home. Voters can now track their mail ballot using our new online system.

This election is unlike any other, but under my executive leadership we are organized, prepared, and have the training in place to keep you safe while you vote. As a reminder, if you want to vote by mail, instead of in-person, you can request a ballot by calling (561) 656-6208 or visiting: www.PBCelections.org/Voters/Vote-By-Mail.

Please remember to vote in the August 18th Primary Election. I am asking for your vote, so I can keep serving you. Please vote Wendy Sartory Link for Supervisor of Elections.

Sincerely,
Wendy Sartory Link
