Eligible voters will head to the polls Tuesday for special elections to fill vacancies in the Kentucky House of Representatives for District 24, which includes parts of LaRue and Hart counties, and District 26, which includes three precincts in Hardin County.
The House District 24 special election will be contested by Democrat Johnny Pennington, Republican Courtney Gilbert, and independent write-in Craig Astor. Republican Peyton Griffee is unopposed in the House District 26 race.
Polls are open today until 6 p.m. Voters in Hart County can cast ballots at the Hart County Clerk’s Office and the Horse Cave Fire Department. LaRue County Clerk Rhonda Metcalf said in addition to their clerk’s office, LaRue County voters have several options.
“On Election Day, we have our vote center which is at First Baptist Church on Tonieville Road, and then we have at Rolling Fork Christian Church in Lyons Station, and we have Uptown Graphics in Upton, and then we have the Old School Market down in Magnolia,” said Metcalf.
Hardin County voters can cast ballots at the clerk’s office’s Radcliff branch, located at 101 West Lincoln Trail Boulevard, or the West Point School building.
