The League of Women Voters of Hopkinsville hosted a series of debates earlier this week. Hoptown Chronicle is providing readers with archived recordings in an effort to help them make informed decisions as they case their ballots this fall.

Voters have until Oct. 9 to request a mail-in ballot, which they can return by mail or hand-deliver to the courthouse or sheriff's office. Voters also have the ability to check online for the status of their ballot, including whether it has been received at the clerk’s office.

Livestream videos of the debates will be available on the city of Hopkinsville and local league Facebook pages.

Oct. 5 is the deadline to register as a voter and be eligible to cast a ballot in the general election.

Members of AKA and League of Women Voters are leading the effort.

Volunteers will be on hand from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Ruff Park Pavilion to help register voters.
