Texas Mask Mandate Exempts Voting

“Most Texans will now have to wear a mask to the grocery store, hair salon and bus stop — but not to the voting booth during ongoing primary runoff elections,” the Houston Chronicle reports.

Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) mask order exempts “any person who is voting, assisting a voter, serving as a poll watcher, or actively administering an election,” but he adds that “wearing a face covering is strongly encouraged.”
