Good environmental policies start
with strong public participation- Your vote is your power

  • NOTE: Here is information on early voting and absentee voting for Kentucky: https://www.vote411.org/kentucky .

  • Remember to confirm your voting location, hours, and dates for early voting. Polling locations here.

  • Don’t just rely on “straight ticket”…there are many good candidates in all parties and don’t forget independent candidates! Find sample ballots here.

  • Don’t just get your candidate news from social media. Ads and postings can tend to be reinforcing, which can lead to “groupthink”- which may cause you to overlook good candidates. Try broadening your sources for learning about candidates.

  • Don’t just “go with your gut”…if you don’t know enough about a candidate, we encourage you to take the time and do your homework. And it is ok to abstain too if you feel you do not know who to vote for.
