Heather... i spoke with clark county clerk laurie lee today.

She says keeping everyone safe is "definitely" on everyone's radar in preparations for election day.

She says there has been regular communication from state and federal agencies with suggestions on the best course of action.

Lee told me they have loaded up on hand sanitzer and disinfecting wipes for all precincts.

They will go to all 15 voting locations on monday to set up...and wipe everything down.

Hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes will be at each location and voters will be directed to use them before and after voting.

Each judge will have instructions on expectations and also be wiping down touch screens regularly throughout the day.

Lee says public health and safety is the number one priority.

"it's very important for all of us to keep our judges safe and want our voters to be able to feel confident that we've done every precaution."

Early voting is taking place at the clerk's office inside the courthouse in marshall.
