MEASURES are being put in place to ensure polling stations will be Covid secure ahead of local elections next month. Voters will have to wear a mask, use hand sanitiser and observe social distancing when voting at West Oxfordshire District Council (WODC) elections on May 6. Voters are also encouraged to bring their own pen or pencil on the day.

Keith Butler, returning officer for WODC, said: “We are taking all the steps needed to make sure voters this year are safe at the polling stations and feel comfortable voting in person.

May May started bleeding and the monitors were beeping. The team of nurses rushed in and May May had an emergency C-section.
