LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18)– As Kentuckians prepare to vote in the primaries on Tuesday, there are a few things you need to know.
When Can You Vote?
Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. (local time) on Election Day. Persons in line at the polls at 6 p.m. will be allowed to vote. Persons who arrive to the polls after 6 p.m. will not be allowed to vote.
Identification Requirements to Cast a Ballot
Voters can vote without identification if an election officer can identify the voter by personal acquaintance. Alternatively, voters can identify themselves by providing documentation. Valid forms of identification include:
- A motor vehicle operator’s license;
- A Social Security Card;
- Any identification card that has been issued by the County and which has been approved in writing by the State Board of Elections;
- Any identification card with a picture and signature;
- Any United States government-issued identification card;
- Any Kentucky state government-issued identification card with picture; or
- A credit card.
Without an eligible form of identification, a voter is permitted to cast a provisional ballot as a last recourse if a valid ID does not exist or cannot be obtained. Voters who cast a provisional vote, or want to learn more about provisional votes, should visit the Provisional Voter Information webpage.
