KENTUCKY — Election Day is less than one week away, but voters in Kentucky don't have to wait until then to cast their ballot.

Kentucky's in-person, no excuse early voting period runs from Thursday, Nov. 3 through Saturday, Nov. 5. Here's what to know if you're hoping to avoid Election Day lines and vote early this year.

Who can vote early?

From Nov. 3 – 5, any registered voter can vote early for any reason. Unlike the in-person, excused early voting period held Oct. 26 through Nov. 2, no excuse is required to vote early on the Thursday through Saturday before Election Day.

You must be registered in the county where you're casting your ballot to vote early. Check your voter registration here.

Where and when can you vote early?

Early voting locations vary for each of Kentucky's 120 counties, so you should find your county's locations here. Unlike Election Day where you have to vote in your specific precinct, you can vote early at any location in your county of residence.

Jefferson County, the state's largest, will operate seven early voting locations throughout the county from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. By contrast, Fayette County has one early voting location—the Lexington Senior Center at 195 Life Lane—open from 8:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m.

Timing varies county to county—some are open as late as 6 p.m. local time, but some will close at 4 p.m. each day. Find your location's hours here.

What should you bring?

All voters have to provide a valid ID before casting a ballot, according to the Kentucky Board of Elections. In Kentucky, acceptable forms of identification include a driver's license, military ID, college ID and Kentucky government ID.

If you are unable to provide an ID before voting, you will be able to vote using a provisional ballot.
