Kentucky absentee ballot request portal opens with October deadline

 (WKYT) – Kentucky’s absentee ballot request portal opened Saturday, Sept. 19, ahead of the November election.

Voters who are unable to vote in person can request mail-in ballots through the portal until Oct. 20, according to the Fayette County Clerks Office.

“Voting has never been easier in Kentucky,” Fayette County Clerk Susan Lamb said. “If you won’t be here for no-excuse early voting or Election Day, make sure you log onto the portal and make your absentee request to ensure you’re able to vote.”

Multiple races are on the ballot this November, including for U.S. House and Senate, state seats and local offices.
