You can find heaps of documentation.

BOMB THREATS

MITIGATING ELECTION DISRUPTION
Consider incorporating the elements presented here into a broader security plan like
the one in CSSE’s Five Steps to Secure Elections.
Election Officials and Law Enforcement: Working Together to
Combat Bomb Threats
In 2024, bomb threats emerged as a serious challenge to election
security, with at least 227 threats against polling locations and other
election sites across the country made on Election Day and the days
immediately after. While bomb threats aren’t new, widely available
technology, including AI-powered tools, now enables bad actors (foreign
and domestic) to more easily target election sites on a widespread basis.
Looking ahead, elections are likely to remain a significant target, and it
is critical that law enforcement and election officials continue to work
together when planning how to respond to these threats.
Bomb threats can disrupt our elections. In good news, due to joint
preparation by election officials and law enforcement, despite the spike
in bomb threats, the 2024 election was widely described as “smooth.”.
However, some polling locations were temporarily evacuated, and court
orders were necessary to extend voting hours at some of these locations.
To minimize potential disruptions in future elections, law enforcement
and election officials should be aware of recent election-related bomb
threat trends, such as emailing threats to staff of the facility hosting a
polling site, and evolving best practices on immediate responses and
mitigations, such as threat analysis evaluation techniques to assess
“shelter in place” or evacuation response options.. The framework below
can help law enforcement and election officials jointly plan for continued
safe and secure elections.

Regarding pulling the lever and closing the curtain, I donʻt know what state you are in but perhaps you can vote that way in a centralized location.
