Aug.14 (UPI) — All voters in Kentucky will be allowed to vote by mail in the November election if they’re concerned about the risks of catching COVID-19, Gov. Andy Beshear said Friday. He and Secretary of State Michael Adams announced new voting procedures for this fall’s election. While no-excuse absentee voting won’t be allowed as it was in the June primary, voters can use fear of the coronavirus pandemic as a reason for requesting a mail-in ballot, regardless of their age. «Secretary Adams and I were able to put partisanship aside and develop a plan for the General Election that puts the health and safety of Kentuckians first,» Beshear said.
