 Tuesday, September 19th is National Voter Registration Day and the Pike County Fiscal Courthouse is doing their part to make the process easier for everyone. Voters have until October 10th to go online or contact the courthouse to register to vote or change their political party. Pike County Clerk Darrell Pugh urges Pike residents to register for the upcoming election season. Actually, we've had a surge in people registering to vote here today. It'd be a National Voter Registration Day. It's real important for everybody to take part. When it comes down to getting your piece of the pie, the more people voting area, the more attention you get from the people in Frankfurt. Restoring to vote has never been easier. You can go to govote.kentucky.gov and register right online. You can do it on your phone, takes just a few minutes. You can do that all the way up to October the 10th if you want to change your party or just make sure you're registered the way you want to be. You can get on there and do that.

An excuse is not needed for anyone who wishes to request one. The 23rd of September is the first day that you can request an absentee ballot, and you can do that all the way up to the 24th of October. And like I said, you can register all the way up to October the 10th. Early absentee, excuse voting, in other words, if you didn't know you was going to be out of town and you're going to have to be, you can do that on the 24th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 30th, and 31st here at the courthouse, you know, and you don't have to have a big long written excuse if you just for some reason not going to be available on election day. You can come in and vote early. Reporting from Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Colm.
