The November 5 general election is just three weeks away, and Kentucky voters who are registered to vote are encouraged to take advantage of the multiple opportunities available to cast their ballot.
Voters looking to request an absentee ballot have one more week to do so.
“It will be open through October 22,” said Hardin County Clerk Brian D. Smith. “If you will be out of the county all days and all hours of voting, or you qualify due to age, illness, or disability, please put in those requests early. To request those, it’s at govote.ky.gov or you can call our election staff at 270-765-6762.”
In-person excused absentee voting will be available weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the clerk’s office October 23 through 30.
With this year being a presidential election, Smith told Quicksie and The Wolf that an expanded turnout is anticipated.
“We expect Election Day to be very busy, so we encourage folks to take advantage of the three days of no excuse early voting,” Smith said. “That’s October 31, November 1, and November 2, that Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Come in, bank your vote, and then you won’t have to worry about something coming up unexpectedly on Election Day. On Election Day, we’ll have 15 locations all across the county to make it convenient for everyone to vote.”
