Hardin County Clerk’s Office asking for wheelchairs for voting locations
The Hardin County Clerk’s Office has announced an initiative to assist mobility-impaired voters by making a wheelchair available at all county voting locations.
“We have come up with an idea of utilizing wheelchairs and some assistance so that walk from your handicap-accessible parking place to the poll booth is going to be a whole lot easier for folks,” said Hardin County Clerk Brian D. Smith.
The clerk’s office is asking residents with an unused wheelchair at home to donate it to the cause.
“We know a lot of folks have a wheelchair either in their basement or their garage,” Smith said. “It belonged to a family member who needed it, and maybe that family member has passed on or no longer needs it. We’re asking you to donate it to the county clerk’s office. We’re going to put it to good use. We’re willing to come pick it up. We’ll clean it up. We’ll make sure it’s safe and functioning, and we’re going to help people vote with it.”
The clerk’s office is aiming to collect 10 wheelchairs by the end of the year to prepare for the 2026 election cycle. Contact the clerk’s office at 270-765-6762 or email HCelections@hccoky.org for more information.
