There could be at least three days of in-person early-voting in Kentucky as soon as the 2022 elections and local legislators support the legislation to that effect that passed the House last week.
The three days of no-excuse early voting would include a Saturday, as required in House Bill 574 and state Senator Whitney Westerfield says he warmed up to supporting early voting after seeing increased turnout last year.
The Senate will likely begin considering the legislation this week with a committee hearing.
Representative Walker Thomas of Hopkinsville says the House also voted to create an Election Integrity Committee to be sure all elections are fair.
Meanwhile, an impeachment committee last week threw out impeachment petitions against Governor Andy Beshear and Attorney General Daniel Cameron—which Representative Myron Dossett of Pembroke believes was the right action to take.
The House and Senate are set to meet Monday through Friday this week.
