More than 15,000 Hardin County residents took advantage of in-person early voting opportunities ahead of the November 5 general election.
The Hardin County Clerk’s Office says after more than 4,800 early in-person no-excuse ballots were cast on both Friday and Saturday, the grand total for in-person no-excuse absentee voting was 13,887, with 8,118 ballots cast at the main clerk’s office in Elizabethtown and 5,769 cast at the Colvin Community Center in Radcliff.
The clerk’s office also says 1,679 residents cast their ballot at the clerk’s office during in-person excused absentee voting.
If you received a mail-in absentee ballot, you have Monday and Tuesday to get it to the clerk’s office.
“Those ballots must be back to the clerk’s office by mail or by hand delivery no later than 6 p.m. on election night,” said Hardin County Clerk Brian D. Smith.
Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday. With a record turnout expected for this year’s election, Smith says Hardin County has expanded voting locations and added machines at the traditionally busier locations.
“As long as you’re in line by 6 p.m. you’ll be allowed to vote,” Smith said. “We have 15 locations available all across Hardin County. Any voter who’s registered in Hardin County can choose any location that’s convenient for them. I encourage folks to visit govote.ky.gov or the Hardin County Clerk’s Facebook page to find the location nearest you.”
