Absentee ballot requests begin this weekend

LEXINGTON, Ky. (ABC 36 NEWS NOW) — The November 5th election is quickly approaching, and voters in Fayette County can begin requesting absentee ballots starting this weekend. The online portal to submit requests opens on Saturday, September 21st.

Fayette County Clerk Susan Lamb anticipates a significant turnout for absentee voting this year, estimating that the county may receive upwards of 10,000 absentee ballots. Lamb emphasizes the importance of following the correct procedures when submitting these ballots.

That includes insuring that the envelope is fully sealed, and that your ballot is received before polls close on November 5th. Voters who prefer to deliver their absentee ballots in person can drop them off at the designated ballot drop-off box located in downtown Lexington.

In addition to the absentee ballot timeline, several key dates are approaching for voters:

September 21st: Portal opens for absentee ballot requests.
October 7th: Last day to register to vote.
October 22nd: Final day to request an absentee ballot.
