Still can get an Absentee Ballot; How to deal with Poll issues

If you did not request an absentee ballot, and now need one because of being quarantined or another medical reason, you can apply for a “medical absentee ballot” by calling your county clerk through November 3.

In Louisville, call 502.574.6100 to give them your information over the phone.

The ballot can be picked up by any designated person; in Louisville at the County Clerks’ office at 7^th and Ormsby.

After properly filled out and signed by the voter, the ballot is returned to the county clerk’s office, mailed or put in one of the inside drop boxes at the various voting locations.

To check on the status of your absentee ballot: GoVoteKY.com

All mail-in ballots have been mailed out; if a person has not received their ballot, call the County Clerk’s office.

If you are denied a ballot at the polls, request to have an immediate hearing before your county board of elections.  Any decision of the county board of elections can be immediately appealed to a circuit court judge.  Do not leave the poll without a hearing.  If you are offered a “Provisional Ballot”, please note that ballot will be only for federal officers, i.e. President, U.S. Senator and U.S. House.

Vote by one of three ways:

1) By absentee ballot.  The Ballot is returned by mail (postage is prepaid) or at various official ballot drop boxes that are INSIDE ONLY the designated voting locations.  If mailing, please take your ballot inside a U.S. Post Office, and not in an outside mailbox.  Vote early so that if there is a problem with your ballot, the County Clerk can notify you to correct the ballot.

2)  In-person early before Election Day.  Now until Monday, Nov. 2, and Saturdays, October 31.  In Louisville, four locations; anyone can vote at any one of these sites.  8:30 AM- 4:30 PM  Parking is free.

Kentucky Exposition Center 937 Phillips Lane Fairgrounds North Wing (shuttles are available in the parking lots)

KFC Yum! Center Foyer Main & 2nd Streets

Kentucky Center for African American Heritage 1701 West Muhammad Ali Blvd

Louisville Marriott East 1903 Embassy Square Blvd. Commonwealth Ballroom

Sites and times for other Kentucky counties can be found at https://www.sos.ky.gov/elections/Pages/Polling-Locations.aspx

3) In-person on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3.  Polls open at 6 AM and close at 6 PM.  Anyone can vote at any one of the election sites.  A photo ID is being required, although a person can sign a document explaining that they could not get one because of COVID-19 and vote.

If you are in line at 6 PM, you are allowed to vote.
