Local Government Election 2022: Guidance on count procedures for candidates, election agents and counting agents

Covid guidance

While the requirements that were in law have now been removed, COVID-19 remains a concern for public health. We have therefore assessed the risk in the count premises and will take and encourage sensible precautions and actions to reduce the risk of transmission:

  • We will have good levels of ventilation
  • Staff will be appropriately distanced and you are asked to respect others space
  • Hand sanitiser will be available throughout the different rooms
  • Face coverings are strongly advised while moving around the building
  • Barriers will be in place so that observers are distanced from staff.
