Trigg County Clerk Carmen Finley says they’ve been busy.
She’s hoping for a 35 percent voter turnout, driven by several local and state races and the two constitutional amendments.
In Trigg County there are seven voting centers—Cerulean Fire Department, East Golden Pond Fire Department, the EOC, South Road Fire Department, Trigg County Recreation Complex, Trigg-Lyon Fire Department and The Way.
