She says fifty eight hundred people returned mail-in ballots.

Michelle:"if anybody has not received their ballot, they need to call us so that we can cancel and they can come in and vote in person.

However, if you did receive you ballot that's how you need to vote."

Turner says people voting in person are waiting about 15 minutes.

As for jessamine county... out of the the nine thousand ballots clerk johnny collier has sent out... eight thousand were returned and in- person voting lines have been about a thirty to forty minute wait.

Johnny:"we have a drop box outside our office here, it's inside the courthouse and anybody can drop their ballots there.

We check that box about three times a day."

Collier says he continues to get several drop off ballots every day... he says at this point that's the safest option for voters.

If you have an absentee ballot and haven't mailed it yet... it must be postmarked by november third.
