[Local elections will go ahead in England in May
with councils being given an extra £30m
to make polling stations and counts COVID-secure.
Voters will be asked to bring their own pens or pencils
to fill in their ballot papers,
while the wearing of face coverings will be made
compulsory in polling stations.
Hand sanitiser, divider screens, and
social distancing markers will also be
provided at polling stations,
while new measures to reduce travel
for potential candidates when completing
their nomination forms will be introduced.]
