This week’s story update on Election Central summarizes how some states are opening back up after the coronavirus pandemic quarantine period.

One of the greatest challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic is that every state has been impacted differently, and as a result, every state has responded in its own unique way.

Here, Election Central examines the approaches that a few states are taking.
