Voting Times and Locations
Voting is under way in the 2023 Kentucky Primary Election.
On Wednesday, May 3, six days of excused voting began. These are reserved for individuals who may have a unique circumstance for being unable to vote at alternative times, such as being out of town. Six days of early voting will conclude on Wednesday, May 10th at 4:00 p.m.
Individuals who qualify may do so during regular business hours.
From May 11-13, early voting takes place. Individuals may vote from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on May 11 and 12 and from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on May 13.
Individuals may vote at their precinct or the Clark County Courthouse on Election Day. All precincts are open on Election Day and voting hours are from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Business hours for the Clark County Clerk’s Office are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Monday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday.
28th District Voting Rules
In the special race for the vacant 28th Senate District Seat, candidates are Greg Elkins (R), Richard Henderson (I), and Robert Sainte (D).
The 28th District includes Clark County, Bath County, Menifee County, Montgomery County, and part of Fayette County.
Because of the unique circumstances, voters in this category do not have to choose solely based on party.
“That race is going to be determined on the primary instead of the general”, said Michelle Turner, Clark County Clerk. “You’re just going to pick whoever you want. You do not have to stay in your party on that one ballot.”
In all other primary races, ballots include multiple Democratic or Republican candidates of each party, with registered voters of that party choosing who they believe to be a prime candidate.
For example, Republican voters can choose between different potential candidates for Governor that include Daniel Cameron, Kelly Craft, and Ryan Quarles.
Registered Republicans would not be allowed to vote for a Democratic candidate, and vice versa.
Registered independents will only be receiving a ballot for the 28th Senate District Seat, as independents will not be running in other races.
“If you’re an independent, you’re not going to get a ballot with a Governor on there, or Secretary of State, or anything like that”, Turner said. “There is no independents running on those races.”
