In-person voting is simply not safe given the prevalence of COVID-19. Kentuckians currently have the option to vote via mail-in ballot or absentee for the upcoming primary, but that process has been mired with difficulties. We must ensure that Kentucky officials take necessary and appropriate action to ensure eligible voters can safely cast a ballot in the November general election during the COVID-19 outbreak. This includes: 

• Eliminating the photo ID requirement to vote in-person and by mail-in absentee ballot.
• Eliminating the requirement that voters qualify for one of a narrow list of excuses to vote by mail before there is a COVID-19 vaccine.

Who needs to act? You; Governor Andy Beshear; Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams; Kentucky State Legislators; Jefferson County Clerk Bobbie Holsclaw; Mayor Greg Fischer, Louisville Metro Council
