The fall season will be upon soon and with it will come the second of two 2018 elections in Albany and Clinton County, the State of Kentucky and most of the United States.
County Clerk Sheila Booher’s office would like to remind citizens, registered voters and potential candidates, primarily in non-partisan races, of some upcoming fall election deadlines and other information.
The November general election will be held on Tuesday, November 6 and once again several local, state and federal races will appear on the final ballot.
However, several offices that were up for grabs will have only one candidate who will not face opposition due to them being unopposed in the past May primary.
