Portugal's government is under fire over its preparations for people infected with COVID-19 to vote in an upcoming snap election, as officials struggle to square the constitutional right to vote with a duty of care for public health. Eligible voters who are infected and confined at home - as many as 600,000 people on the day of the Jan. 30 election, officials estimate – are to be allowed to go to polling stations as an exceptional measure, the government announced Thursday.
