There is less than a day left before Kentucky concludes its first-ever “no excuses needed” three-day early voting period ahead of the state’s May 17 primaries and, by all accounts, turnout has been steady and the process smooth.
Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams was among the first to cast a ballot when early voting polls opened on May 12 in Louisville.
“I took advantage of our new no-excuse early voting today,” he told reporters as he left the voting site. “It was quick and easy.”
Saturday’s conclusion of the three-day early voting period follows in-person “excused” absentee early voting on May 4–6 and May 9–11. Mail-in absentee ballots were due May 3. The turnout figures for earlier voting periods have not been posted yet.
