Kentucky’s Secretary of State is encouraging eligible voters to register and participate in this year’s general election. Secretary Alison Lundergran Grimes spoke Thursday at a breakfast meeting sponsored by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to the very visible presidential election, every seat of the state’s House of Representatives, half of the Senate and some state Supreme Court races will be on the ballot November 8th.
Grimes says there’s a lot at stake at all levels of our government, “These are important offices that determine what’s gonna happen, not only at the national level but at the local level as well. And people need to be engaged.”
In March of this year, the secretary of state announced the availability of online voter registration. She says, in addition to that, eligible voters can check on existing registrations and get other voting information online.
Grimes says she will continue to work for the General Assembly’s approval of early voting in addition to the existing option of absentee balloting.
