Press release from the City of Louisville:

June 14, 2020

Louisville – “The Polls are open!”

This week, voters will have the chance to vote early in the June 23rd primary, according to the Jefferson County Election Center. The Louisville Metro Council is trying to get out the word to ensure everyone has the chance to vote if they are not using an absentee ballot.

“This is an unusual primary and there has been some confusion about when in person voting will take place. Everyone should be aware they have the chance to vote all this week and next Monday leading up to the primary,” says Metro Council President David James (D-6). “The Kentucky Fair and Expo Center is the only proposed location for in person voting. Please take advantage of this week to ensure you vote.”

Starting June 15, and through Friday, June 19, and again next Monday, June 22, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., ballots can be cast at the Fairgrounds, no appointment necessary. Voters can enter from Gates 2 or 4 off Crittenden Drive, or Gate 6 off Preston Highway. The front entrance will be closed.

Election officials ask voters to wear a mask as the community is still in the First Wave of the COVID 19. Parking is free.

Monday June 15th is the last day to request an absentee ballot for the primary. If you need to request a ballot go to: https://vrsws.sos.ky.gov/abrweb/
