Voters in Northern Kentucky have several options when it comes to casting their ballots. Although turn out numbers from previous years suggest that most Northern Kentuckians like to vote in person, there are other ways, as well, for those who can’t make it out on Election Day. 

General information about voting in the November election, including information about polling locations, write-ups on voters’ rights, candidate lists and results from previous elections at  elect.ky.gov. 

Here are some of the different ways you can cast your ballots and the places where you can vote in person in Boone, Kenton and Campbell Counties both on and before Election Day.

Absentee voters

Eligible voters can request an absentee ballot by visiting govote.ky.gov and clicking on the first option on the menu. The website also has information about polling locations, registration status and sample ballots. You can request an absentee ballot online between Sept. 21 and Oct. 22. 

From there, eligible voters can mail absentee ballots to the election offices indicated in their packets. They can also drop off their ballots at select locations in their county of permanent residence. Finally, eligible absentees can cast their ballots in person at specific locations and on specific days in their counties. 

To learn more about voting absentee, including eligibility criteria, drop-off locations and in-person voting locations, check out LINK nky’s absentee voting guide.

Everyone else

People who are not eligible for an absentee ballot can either vote early or cast their ballots normally at assigned polling places on Election Day. 

In order to cast your vote, you’ll need to bring some form of official identification document that shows your name and a photo. These include any federal or commonwealth-issued documents like driver’s licenses and passports. Armed service members, Kentucky National Guard Members, employees of the Department of Defense and members of the Merchant Marine can use identifications from those agencies so long as they contain the voter’s name and photo. Students at public and private universities are allowed to bring in student IDs if they’re up to date, and voters can also use any ID documents from local or county governments if they contain the person’s name and photo. 

Early voting takes place on Oct. 31, Nov. 1 and Nov. 2. If you want to vote early, you must go to an assigned voting location in your county and cast your vote during an allowable time frame, which varies by county. Consult the list below to find the locations in your county.

Where to vote on Election Day

Where you vote on Election Day is determined by your home address and precinct location. Although you can request a provisional ballot on Election Day if you haven’t updated your registration, the process is somewhat involved and will likely extend your time at the polls, so it’s recommended you update your registration by the Oct. 7 deadline. 

Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5. You can find your polling location and precinct number by checking your registration card or entering your information at vrsws.sos.ky.gov/VIC/. You can also check out LINK nky’s interactive election map below if you already your precinct.

Kenton County voters can vote at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center, regardless of their address or precinct.
