Voting in the November 4 election is already underway for some Kentuckians. Mail-in absentee balloting has begun for eligible voters.
"We encourage all individuals if you believe you will be out of the county on election day to make sure that you are participating in the election via either our mail-in absentee process or in-person absentee voting," says Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes.
Individuals who may be eligible to vote by mail-in absentee ballot include:
• Military personnel, their dependents, and overseas citizens
• Students who temporarily reside outside the county
• Voters who temporarily reside outside Kentucky
• Voters who are incarcerated but have not yet been convicted
• Voters whose employment takes them outside the county for all days and hours the polling place is open
• Voters of advanced age or who suffer from disability or illness
• Voters who are participants in the Secretary of State’s Address Confidentiality Program
Applications for mail-in absentee ballots must be received by the county clerk’s office no later than October 28.
