Voter Empowerment
Absentee Voting, 2012
Kentucky does not allow early voting or unexcused absentee voting, but there are quite a few circumstances under which you might be able to vote by mail or cast your vote in advance of the election at your local County Clerk's office.
First, think about where you're going to be on Tuesday, November 6th. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Also, figure out where you're registered to vote now. If you're not sure, you can find your voting location by typing in your name and date of birth at the State Board of Elections website HERE.
If you won't be able to make it out to vote at that time and place, you'll be able to apply for an absentee ballot or cast your vote early only if you fall into one or more of these categories
TWO Singing For Democracy Gospel Festivals soon
We've held nine Singing For Democracy Gospel Fests over the last few years to restore voting rights to former felons who have served their time.
CKY voter mobilization phone bank
Now that we've registered as many voters as we could it's time to mobilize them to the polls! We will be calling the folks that we met this year doing voter registration as well as KFTC members to make sure they know where their polling location is and that they have a way to get there.
Operation voter madness a success in Lexington!
You may have seen in the Herald Leader last week that groups all over town were focusing on registering as many voters as possible before the deadline this coming Tuesday October 9th. The central Kentucky chapter held a 36 hour voter registration marathon in Lexington over the weekend. Starting on Friday October 5th at 6am and going until 6pm on Saturday October 6th, volunteers registered people to vote at the transit center, on UK campus, the Catholic Action center, the William Wells Brown community center, local bars, Tolly Ho, Spaulding Donuts, Race for the Cure, The farmers market, N. Limeston coffee and donuts, the Village Branch library and door to door around the Lexington rescue mission in the Georgetown St. area.
