Voting continues across Kentucky in the primary election and just as expected, turnout is reported to be low in most places so far.
Christian County Clerk Melinda Humphries says it had been a slow morning with only a few problems getting started that were quickly resolved.
Todd County Clerk Cindy O’Bryan had a similar report, saying their process was going mostly smooth.
In Trigg County, things have also been quiet with no issues to speak of and County Clerk Carmen Finley is hoping Democrats and Republicans will get out and choose their nominees for the state’s constitutional officers.
There are 16 centers in Christian County where Democrats and Republicans can vote. Those are the Bruce Convention Center, the courthouse, senior center, Oak Grove Community Center, Indian Hills Elementary, New Barren Springs Church, New Palestine Baptist Church, Friendship House, Sinking Fork Baptist Church, Pembroke Baptist Church, Crofton City Hall, South Christian Elementary, Walnut Street Center, Concord Baptist Church, Cedar Grove Baptist Church and Hopkinsville Middle School.
Todd County maintains its traditional precincts, with no changes from November.
Trigg County voters can cast their ballot at the Cerulean Volunteer Fire Department, East Golden Pond Fire Department, South Road Fire Department, Trigg-Lyon Fire Department, The Way, Emergency Operations Center, and Trigg County Recreation Complex.
The state Attorney General’s Office is encouraging Kentuckians to report any suspected irregularities that they may see related to voting. You can report any suspicion to the state’s Election Fraud Hotline at 1-800-328-VOTE. Seven calls had been received by mid-morning from across Kentucky and none were from the Pennyrile region.
Polls are open until 6 p.m. across the commonwealth and anyone standing in line at 6 p.m. will be allowed to vote.
