Election commissioners to check voting machines

The local Board of Election Commissioners will check the voting machines Tuesday, October 22 at 9 a.m. in the basement of City Hall on South Main Street.

The absentee voting machine is currently in operation at the County Court Clerk’s Office for any voters who will be out of town on election day. The machine will remain open during regular business hours through Monday, November 4. Those who are voting by the traditional paper absentee ballot must have applications returned to the clerk’s office or postmarked by October 29 in order to be eligible.

The actual paper absentee ballot will be accepted through November 5, according to County Court Clerk Carol Jones.

Training for local election officers is set for Tuesday, October 29 at 6 p.m. It will be held in the upstairs courtroom at the Wayne County Courthouse.

There is only one precicnt change local voters need to note for the November election. The location of the Barrier precinct has been moved to the corner of Burfield Road and East KY 92, where the county has purchase property. This will be the permanent location for the Barrier precinct.

Voters at Barrier previously cast ballots at the old Stokey Decker Store on East KY 92.
