OHIO COUNTY, Ky. — As the Nov. 3, 2020, General Election draws nearer, there are some important dates voters should keep in mind leading up to Election Day.
One date to remember is Oct. 9, 2020, and it’s for those concerned about contracting or spreading COVID-19. Registered voters can request absentee ballots through the online portal through Oct. 9. After Oct. 9, voters can still visit the County Clerk’s Office to request an absentee ballot.
