If it's not codified in actual law passed by your local municipality or county, by board members or alderman, it's likely unenforceable. EO's from mayors or governors are generally speaking as worthless as the paper they're written on. A full grown ass man can go walk his dog or go to the grocery store and get a 6 pack. No one is gonna stop him.
Also doesn't pertain to essential activities. Voting is one of those activities. I wouldn't get too worked up about it.
A dilemma was pointed out. What if you are standing in line to vote at 8:30 in the evening. A law enforcement officer comes up to you and tells you that you are violating curfew rules. You are ordered to go home immediately or face a big fine or a trip to county jail. What happens to your right to vote? This could happen this fall in many states when the presidential election is held.

Today a number of US states were holding primary elections. A dilemma was pointed out. What if you are standing in line to vote at 8:30 in the evening.

We all have watched sporting events at some time in our lives. In a futbol or baseball game, there are pregame activities. The players come on the field with a lot of fanfare. They kick around or throw around the ball. A lot of this is done to entertain the crowds in the stadium and watching on television. Sometime later the actual game begins in earnest.
I am beginning to see what is going on now is like the pregame show. The actual game will begin in the northern hemisphere fall when the second wave of coronavirus hits. You have this massive unemployment here of over 41 million. Most of these people are getting generous unemployment benefits now. They are protected from eviction and foreclosure in most jurisdictions. Economists say that 12% of those people will not have a job to return to. This is roughly 4,900,000 people. What happens when their eviction/foreclosure protection runs out and the unemployment checks stop? This is an ideal formula for social unrest on a grander scale than we are seeing now. In California, you will have another problem this fall; fire season returns.
I will leave you to ponder on my words. Give your imagination a free reign.
