Christian County Clerk Michael Gianasi clarified some questions on Friday after an employee in the office tested positive for COVID-19. The employee that tested positive worked in the back room of the office which was separate from the front counter area where people vote. The employee was last in the office on September 21st. Other employees of the back office have been quarantined under the guidelines set by the Christian County Health Department.
None of the voting equipment had been set up yet. It wasn’t set up until September 23rd. All common surfaces have been wiped and cleaned including ink pens. If you want to vote early and don’t feel safe, feel free to bring your own pen with black ink to vote. Voting booths and laminated privacy covers are also wiped down after use, and you can use a stylus or a rubber tip to go on your finger to complete your vote to prevent touching of surfaces.
If you are early voting in person, provide extra time, and maintain social distancing in the hallway. Early voting is available from 8 AM until 4 PM Monday through Friday at the County Clerk’s office in the courthouse. On October 24th and October 31st, the office will be open from 9 until 1 PM on both of those Saturdays.
