"If you’re planning to vote in person, there is a range of measures in place to keep you and those around you safe from COVID-19. There are easy steps you can take, too."
- Remember to scan into your voting place with the NZ COVID Tracer app
- Use the provided hand sanitiser on your way in and out of the voting place
- Bring your own pen to mark your voting paper, if you can
