If you request a Mail-In Absentee Ballot, it must be postmarked by November 3 and received by the County Clerk by November 6. Please complete & mail your ballot ASAP!

Mail-in Ballots have pre-paid postage so you do not need a stamp to mail the ballot with the U.S. Postal Service. If you prefer not to mail your ballot, you may drop off your ballot at secure drop boxes. Locations will be announced by the County Clerk.

In-Person Early Voting

In-Person Early Voting will be available for the November General Election.

  • Beginning Oct. 13, three weeks before the election, every work day between Oct. 13 and Election Day, and every Saturday for at least four hours, every county clerk will provide a location for safe in-person voting.

  • Early voting is not absentee voting – anyone can vote early for any reason.

Voter Identification

  • Kentuckians who were unable to get a driver’s licenses or photo ID due to the pandemic because their clerk’s office was closed, or because they were afraid of exposing themselves to COVID-19, can sign a document explaining this concern and cast their ballot.
