Susan Lamb, Fayette County clerk, told the Senior Minute program that seniors can use online services for many motor-vehicle transactions, that transfers and some inspections still must be done in person, and that the clerks office offers multiple accommodations for seniors who need help voting.

Lamb said vehicle-registration renewals can be completed online at drive.ky.gov; there is a $2 fee to have the new registration mailed. "The biggest thing with the motor vehicle registration renewals is the everybody thinks that those reminder cards are like an invoice to them," she said, and added that renewals are due in the vehicle owners birth month or the spouses birth month, as applicable. She advised that if people prefer not to come into the office they can renew online or mail the provided envelope.

Lamb warned that the states KAVIS registration system sometimes does not auto-verify insurance and recommended bringing a paper copy of insurance if visiting the office. For vehicle transfers and out-of-state vehicle registrations, Lamb said inspections must be completed in person and described a deputy sheriff who performs inspections in the county clerks building garage with close parking for drivers who need it.

On voting, Lamb urged seniors who have difficulty standing or waiting in lines to use the clerks six-day early voting period in the clerks office. "If you have trouble standing or if there's any, you know, if you're in a wheelchair, if you have any disability or any reason to think that you can't stand in a long line, please come to our office during the 6 day early voting," she said. Lamb also confirmed that House Bill 684 allows caregivers to assist voters and that its veto was not sustained.

Lamb described poll-worker requirements and pay: prospective poll workers must be able to lift 30 pounds, be able to stand for long periods, read and write English, attend required training, and have transportation. Training and election-day service are paid; Lamb said state law requires training and that the office pays $250 for election-day workers (training included), with separate pay for attending training alone.

Resources Lamb cited include the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (drive.ky.gov), the KAVIS registration system and the Fayette County Clerk's websites (fayettecountyclerk.com and fayettedeeds.com) for motor-vehicle, deeds and elections information. "We welcome [seniors] and we have handicap parking in the garage too," Lamb said.

The segment aimed to summarize clerks-office options specifically intended to make vehicle and voting services more accessible to older residents.
