Secretary of State Grimes Projects 60 Percent Voter Turnout Nov. 8

Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes projects approximately 60 percent of the 3.3 million people registered to vote in Kentucky will turn out for next week’s general election. Grimes hopes it will be another record-breaking year in Kentucky, with the high number of voters registered translating to voter turnout. As of Monday, nearly 47,000 voters had voted in person on machines in county clerks’ offices and approximately 39,700 mail-in absentee ballots had been sent to voters who had requested them. Grimes encourages voters to prepare to vote on November 8 by checking their polling places and viewing sample ballots through GoVoteKY.com.
