Early voting starts Thursday (Nov. 3) in Whitley County

Whitley County residents wanting to vote in the upcoming November General Election will have a couple of different options to do so in the coming days.

While absentee voting for those, who will be unable to go to the polls on Election Day (Nov. 8), has been underway for about one week, there will be a three-day early voting period where anybody can cast a ballot starting Thursday.

Early voting will take place from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Whitley County Clerk’s Office in Williamsburg, which is located in the old courthouse, and at the old Corbin city hall outside the former district courtroom.

Whitley County Clerk Carolyn Willis estimated that nearly 20 percent of voters cast their ballots during early voting during the May Primary Election.

On Election Day, which is Nov. 8, voting will take place from 6 a.m. – 6 p.m. at one of eight voting centers, which are spaced out across the county and listed below.

• Williamsburg Independent School
• Whitley County High School
• Pleasant View Elementary School
• Whitley East Elementary School
• Whitley North Elementary School
• Oak Grove Elementary School
• Corbin City Hall
• Sanders Creek Church (Canadatown area)

Willis noted that the voting centers are in the same eight places that they were for the May Primary Election, and that voters can cast their ballots at any of the eight voting centers.
