All Kentuckians will have the option to vote by mail if theyre wary of COVID-19https://www.kentucky.com/news/politics-government/article244929142.html
Any Kentucky voter wary of the risk of COVID-19 will be able to vote in the Nov. 3 general election by mailing in an absentee ballot. Voters will also have the option of casting a ballot in person during the three weeks leading up to the election, or waiting until Election Day.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Secretary of State Michael Adams announced the voting procedures Friday after reaching a deal on how this falls election will be conducted as the coronavirus continues to spread.
The Democratic governor and Republican secretary of state, who oversees elections, said people who are concerned about COVID-19 can ask for an absentee ballot using an online portal at www.govoteky.com. They can then mail in the ballots or place them in drop boxes determined by county clerks if they want to avoid using postal service.
Voters will be able to begin requesting ballots by next Friday, Beshear said. They must be postmarked by Nov. 3 and received by the county clerk by Nov. 6.
