Voter Resources
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.
