Machine absentee voting is underway at Adair Courthouse Absentee voting is already under way on the machine in the office of Adair County Court Clerk Sheila Blair, Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY. The hours between now and election day are 8am-4:30pmCT, Monday through Friday. Saturdays until the election, the hours are 8am-12pm noon CT. Thus far, as of 3:41pmCT, Monday, October 18, 2010, 70 voters have cast absentee ballots. The General Election is Tuesday, November 2, 2010 From Commonwealth News Center News from the office of Secretary of State Trey Grayson Frankfort, KY - Voters across Kentucky have begun casting ballots for this year's election. While not all Kentuckians can head to the polls before Election Day, Kentucky law does provide opportunities for some voters to cast absentee ballots before the November 2, 2010 election. "Kentucky law provides Kentucky voters with a number of opportunities to cast a ballot," stated Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson, the Chief Election Officer of the Commonwealth. "I hope that all citizens will plan for Election Day accordingly, and if they need to cast an absentee ballot, will take the appropriate steps to do so." Most county clerks' offices across the Commonwealth have already begun in-house absentee voting, where voters actually vote on voting machines similar to those used on Election Day. All county clerks' offices must allow in-house absentee voting at least twelve working days before Election Day. The actual start date for this voting may vary depending on whether the offices open on Saturdays. Voters will have until November 1, 2010 to cast an in-house absentee ballot. Voters might also be eligible to apply for a mail-in absentee ballot. Those applications are available from voters' respective county clerks' offices and must be received during office hours in those offices by October 26, 2010. After receiving an approved application, county clerks will mail a ballot to the respective voters, and voters will have until 6:00 p.m. local time on Election Day to return their ballots to the county clerk. There are a variety of reasons why a voter might request to cast an absentee ballot, including:
Grayson also reminded voters that with the start of in-house absentee voting, electioneering laws are now in effect for the building in which the absentee voting is located. Electioneering is prohibited inside in-house absentee voting locations during the hours in which absentee voting is being conducted. Electioneering materials shall not be affixed to the interior or exterior of any in-house absentee voting location during that time as well. For more specific rules about electioneering, citizens are urged to contact their local board of elections or the State Board of Elections. To learn more information about absentee voting or to use the Voter Information Center, a service that will confirm voter registration and provide pertinent election information to registered voters, visit the clerk's office or, in Adair County, call (270) 384-2801. please visit: www.vote.ky.gov.
