This Friday, Oct. 9, is the last day to request an absentee ballot in Kentucky.

Ballots can be requested at govoteky.com. After a ballot is requested, it must be mailed or dropped off at the Warren County Clerk’s Office by Nov. 3.

Election day is 26 days away, but early in-person voting will open on Tuesday, Oct. 3. Polls will be open every weekday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. until Election Day. Voters can cast their votes at the Southern KY Performing Arts Center.

Masks will be required at in-person voting locations. A form of ID may be requested, but photo ID is not required. If a voter is not able to present an ID, they will be required to sign an oath to attest their qualifications.
