(Trimble County, Ky.) - As the election is drawing closer and closer, the Trimble County Clerks Office has released some important information regarding the election, voting status, and absentee ballots.
As of yesterday September 21, some absentee ballots have been sent out to county residents who have requested them. Once you receive your ballot it is important to know that you should fill it out and submit it as soon as possible.
A few things to know about your ballot are that when making your selections, you should use dark ink, if you use lighter ink your votes will not be able to be counted by the machine.
There is also an option to vote straight party whether it be straight Republican or Democrat. If you choose to vote straight party, and there are people from other political parties that you would like to vote for you may do so, and that will count towards them.
All absentee ballots must be postmarked by November 3 in order to be valid.
The deadline for mailout ballots is October 9.
