Gills Explains Voting Process for Graves Residents

The Graves County Clerk's Office is once again reminding residents about the voting process for the upcoming Primary Election on June 23.

Graves County Clerk Kim Gills said the Graves County Board of Elections had to change the voting process due to Gov. Andy Beshear's Executive Order on April 24. The changes are due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Gills said each registered voter in Graves County should have received a postcard from the Kentucky State Board of Elections with instructions on how to apply for a by-mail, paper absentee ballot at GOVOTEKY.com. Gills said the by-mail, paper absentee ballot election process will potentially reduce exposure to the COVID-19 virus for both voters and precinct workers.

In-person absentee voting will be located at the Graves County Clerk's Office inside the Graves County Courthouse. Voting there will start on June 8, and run through June 22, by appointment only. Call the clerk's office to make an appointment.

In-person voting on June 23 will take place at Graves County High School from 6:00 am-6:00 pm. There will be no other precinct locations used on June 23. Gills said CDC guidelines on social distancing will be posted.

Anyone with questions is urged to contact the Graves County Clerk's Office.
