BILBAO, SPAIN - Voters in northern Spain wore face masks and used hand sanitiser gel before entering polling stations on Sunday as Galicia and the Basque Country held regional elections while fighting localised outbreaks of Covid-19.
Bilbao, the Basque region's largest city, has increased the number of polling stations by 25 per cent to ensure social distancing can be maintained. Voters and polling station workers are required to wear facial protection and wash their hands. "People with active coronavirus infections... cannot attend activities in person. They would be breaching public health laws," Basque regional health chief Nekane Murga said on Saturday.
While postal ballots are allowed, authorities could not say how many people in isolation had made such arrangements.
