Davis Community Center on Spottswood had no line for voting about 9:30 Thursday morning.
Six cars were in the parking lot, and three voters were inside.
The precinct included social distancing markers on the floor, hand sanitizer at the room entrance, poll workers wearing both face masks and gloves, plastic barriers in front of the poll workers, a single-use pen for voters to use and popsicle sticks to use at the voting booth instead of fingers.
Outside, people were campaigning for Anya Parker and Catrina Smith, both running for the District 90 state House seat.
