Elections

This year marks the passing of an era. There's more convenience for voters, but we're also giving up tradition that was deeply rooted in community.

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.

The winner in the November general election will serve the two years remaining on the former mayor's unexpired term.

Wallace doesn't plan to fact-check during the debate, but other news outlets have plans for live fact-checking online.

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.

Early, in-person voting will begin Oct. 13 at the courthouse and the sheriff's department.

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

The reduced workforce affects the deeds and vehicle transfer offices.

Christian County Clerk Mike Kem will give an overview of election plans during the League of Women Voters meeting. A livestream video will be available on the league's Facebook page.

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, the first Black candidate elected to statewide office in the commonwealth, was among the speakers.
