Clerk outlines polling location options and voter outreach ahead of November election
Summary
County Clerk Shanda Archer reviewed possible polling‑location changes for November, noting ADA considerations and site availability; her office also conducted a voter registration drive that added 19 soon‑eligible voters, and the May Fiscal Court meeting was moved to May 18 to avoid the primary.
County Clerk Shanda Archer briefed the Fiscal Court on polling‑location considerations for the November general election. She said previous elections reduced the number of voting locations from 16 to nine, and that the 4‑H Building has been used as a polling place. Archer reported concerns about a fire at Port Royal Baptist Church and said the only immediately suitable ADA‑compliant alternate would be the Campbellsburg Community Center; she has also discussed options with Lockport Baptist Church and noted the Kentucky River Fire Department may not want to host future elections. Archer emphasized that final decisions rest with the Election Board.
Archer described three methods available for the primary: absentee voting May 6–13 for those who will be out of county; early voting at the 4‑H Center May 14–16; and election‑day voting. She also said a voter registration drive at Henry County High School, conducted with FBLA, registered 19 students who will be 18 before the general election.
Judge Bates reminded the Court the May fiscal meeting was moved to Monday, May 18, to avoid conflict with primary election day; the May meeting will be held in the small side of the 4‑H Building since the larger space will be used as a polling location.
