Voting for this November’s general election will be slightly different around Clark County, and excused absentee ballots may be requested starting Saturday, Sept. 24th.

Since the time of the May elections, additional voting machines have been purchased by the Clark County Fiscal Court. 

As a result, all precincts will be open for voting on Election Day, Nov. 8. The Clark County Courthouse’s main floor will also be a place where anyone can vote. 

Because each precinct will now have its own voting machine, options are for voters to choose to vote at their own precinct location or at the Clark County Courthouse. 

Precincts and polling places are specified below:

• A101 Becknerville, Mount Zion Christian Church
• A103 Hampton, Phoenix Academy
• B102 Forest Grove, Providence Pentecostal Church
