Polls open until 6 p.m. Tuesday (Nov. 7)

Election Day voting will take place from 6 a.m. – 6 p.m. today, Nov. 6, at eight voting centers located throughout Whitley County, including locations at 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 and Sanders Creek Church, which is in the Canadatown area.

Previously, you could only cast your Election Day ballot at your voting precinct out of which there were 36 located in Whitley County, but now you can cast your Election Day ballot at any of the eight voting centers.

The most prominent race on Tuesday’s ballot will be the gubernatorial race, which will pit incumbent Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear and incumbent Lt. Governor Jacqueline Coleman against Republican challenger Attorney General Daniel Cameron and his running mate Robert M. “Robby” Mills, who is running for Lt. Governor.

Several other statewide races will also be on the ballot, including:

• Attorney General – Republican Russell Coleman vs. Democrat Pamela Stevenson
• Secretary of State – incumbent Republican Michael Adams vs. Democratic challenger Charles “Buddy” Wheatley
• Treasurer – Republican Mark H. Metcalf vs. Democrat Michael Bowman.
• Auditor of Public Accounts – Republican Allison Ball vs. Democrat Kimberly “Kim” Reeder.
• Agriculture Commissioner – Republican Jonathan Shell vs. Democrat Sierra J. Enlow.

There is one local, uncontested race on some Whitley County ballots as Paula Parker Grubb is unopposed in her bid to fill out the unexpired Whitley County Board of Education Third-District seat.

Grubb was appointed to the position in early February following the resignation of board member Malorie Cooper, who moved outside of the district.
