Working group to explore possibility of quarantine voting

The interior and health ministries are to set up a working group to address epidemiological measures during the autumn regional and Senate elections and the possibility of voting for people in quarantine, the former said in a statement. Interior Minister Jan Hamáček told CNN Prima News that if the number of people in quarantine in the autumn were in the order of tens of thousands, the postponement of elections could potentially be discussed.

Mr. Hamáček said on Monday that changes could not be made before the October elections that would allow people in quarantine to vote and at the same time prevent the risk of Covid-19 transmission.
