Absentee mail-in voting is now available ahead of the May 21 primary election.
Voters that are eligible may request a mail-in absentee ballot now through May 7. Those requests can be made at govote.ky.gov.
In Hardin County, in-person excused absentee voting will take place May 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, and 15 in the Hardin County Clerk’s office. Early voting will take place at the clerk’s office as well as at the Colvin Community Center on May 16, 17, and 18.
Hardin County Clerk Brian D. Smith said voters heading to the polls on May 21 will have more options this year.
“Last year we had 12 locations. This year we’ll have 15 locations,” Smith said. “The largest of those locations will also have additional check-in stations, so not only are we having more locations, but we also should be able to get people through the line faster. That was based on the feedback we got directly from the public.”
The deadline to register for the May 21 primary election is at 4 p.m. on April 22. Election information is available at govote.ky.gov or contact your county clerk’s office for assistance.
