Vote in person or mail ballot with today's postmark

By Linda Waggener

It’s a beautiful morning to be in downtown Columbia, Kentucky. The temperature is mild in warm sunshine and the aromas of burgers, french fries, and fajitas float by on a gentle breeze.

It’s 10:23amCT, Primary Election Day 2020, with over 1,000 mail-in votes already counted and in-person voting flowing smoothly at the Adair County Courthouse Annex.

Vote in person today or mail ballot with today's postmark. Mail in votes postmarked today will continue to be counted until June 27, 2020.

There is plenty of parking. Election officers and staff have moved out of their parking spaces to make room for voters to enter through the back door of the Courthouse Annex if it’s more convenient. That means there’s parking for voters in the front, back and to the side.

Election workers and Deputies are stationed at each entrance to help with directions. For those with disabilities, drivers can pull up to the Greensburg Street doors for assistance and a totally step-free path to voting.

The Primary Election vote will be officially certified June 30, 2020.
