Planning Ahead Helped Hardin County Navigate Election Day

Facebook

County election officials were anxious to see what voter turnout will look like after the dust finally settles following Election Day.

Hardin County Clerk Debbie Donnelly said Election Day went well because they planned for possible snags.

Donnelly has deputy clerks and an IT specialist at all polling locations to help with technical issues and confusion with ballots.

“So that way we could just keep feeding the voters through and we wouldn’t have to stop and do any extra work,” said Donnelly.

Donnelly requested four voting locations in Hardin County to make sure she had enough people to help address issues.

County clerks in Meade, Larue, and Nelson said they hadn't had any trouble at polling sites and were hopeful things will continue to run smoothly until polls closed at 6 p-m local time.
