With less than a week until Kentucky’s statewide elections occur, local interest is already ahead of the last state election.

According to the Clark County Clerk’s office, 373 people have already voted as absentees, including mail-in ballots. In the fall 2015 general election, 317 absentee voters cast their ballots.

“It’s picked up in the last week,” Clark County Clerk Michelle Turner said.

Wednesday, Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes predicted a statewide voter turnout of 31 percent, or about 1 million people. In the 2015 general election, 30.7 percent of Kentucky’s registered voters participated, she said.

In May, Grimes predicted a 12.5 percent voter turnout for the primary, and nearly 20 percent voted.

Turner said preparations are well underway for the polls to open at 6 a.m. Tuesday. The county’s poll workers had their mandatory training Wednesday evening and voting machines were inspected Thursday. They will be delivered to the county’s 26 voting precincts Monday, she said.

There are no local races on the ballot in Clark County this year.

There are no changes to any of Clark County’s 26 voting precincts or locations this year, she said.

Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 5.
