Harlan County Clerk Donna Hoskins is encouraging everyone to get out and vote in Tuesday’s primary election.

“I just always ask for people to turn out to vote in Harlan County no matter what election because we want to be heard,” said Hoskins. “If you don’t cast your vote, how can you complain. It’s important. It’s the leadership for our state.

“No matter what, if it’s for dog catcher or president, voting is the most important thing. You need to come out Tuesday and vote.”

The polls will close at 6 p.m. on Tuesday. If you are in line by 6 p.m., you will be able to cast your vote.

There are several statewide offices that are up for vote this election. In the governor’s race, Republicans will be choosing between incumbent Matt Bevin, Robert Goforth, Ike Lawrence and William E. Woods. Democrats will pick between Rocky Adkins, Andy Beshear, Adam Edelen and Geoff Young.
