It’s the final stretch of campaigning across the Commonwealth before the November eighth general election. Electioneering too close to voting locations can be a concern. Kentucky’s current law calls for a 100-foot buffer area at voting precincts. Fayette County Clerk Don Blevins favors extending that distance requirement. He said a compromise might be to prohibit electioneering on the property of voting locations.
“Ignore the footage, just talk about property. I don’t know if that will pass constitutional muster, but I offer that as a possible solution. That way, if it’s a school, you’ve got a pretty good buffer from having to hear somebody accost you about a particular candidate,” said Blevins.
