Kentuckians can participate in early voting for this year’s general election beginning Thursday.
Statewide in-person “no-excuse” absentee voting is open from Thursday to Saturday, Nov. 3 through 5. Residents can cast their ballots before Election Day, which is from 6 a.m. - 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 8.
This voting period is different from excused in-person absentee voting and is available to all registered voters. Residents must provide an ID that shows their name and photo and was issued by a valid government or postsecondary institution.
Kentuckians can find their early voting locations on the State Board of Elections’ website.

Indiana voting details

Missing ballot information
The Jefferson County Clerk’s office said last week it was notified that one mail-in ballot was missing Constitutional Amendment 2, a controversial statewide measure targeting abortion access.
The office’s communications director, Erran Huber, said the ballot had several missing features, including Amendment 2, but that the team has not discovered any other incomplete ballot forms.
“We have reviewed ballots printed for mail-in absentee or in-person excused absentee voting. We have not found another instance of this issue, and we have determined that this issue was due to a printer setting that we have already corrected,” Huber said.
If a Louisville voter finds their ballot is missing information, or wants to redo their ballot, Huber said they should contact the Jefferson County Clerk’s Election Center at 502-574-6100 or visit the center at 1000 East Liberty St.
