Staff report
Today is the last day for registered voters to request a ballot by mail so they can vote from the comfort of home in the Kentucky Primary June 23.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the State Board of Elections has made special emergency arrangements to accommodate all those who want to vote in the primary.
If you don’t vote by mail, you can vote in person at the one designated polling place in your county on June 23. Or you can make an appointment to vote in person at your county clerk’s office by June 22.
If you are a registered voter and have designated as either a Democratic Party or Republican Party voter, you will receive a ballot only for the your designated party. Those registered as independents cannot vote in either party’s primary.
