Seeing long lines for Lexington early voting? Turnout close to a presidential election year

Lexington’s first day of early voting had a similar turnout to that day in the last presidential election, according to the Fayette County Clerk’s Office. And long lines at polling places Friday suggests the city is seeing high turnout for a second day. Lines were not only longer than usual, but moved slower, said Quin Welch, a spokesperson for the clerk’s office, which oversees local elections. Some people waited in line for an hour or longer, but it appeared they were moving faster Friday morning. “We’re seeing a lot more early voters than we typically do at the libraries,” Welch told the Herald-Leader. “We’re kind of near normal presidential year turnout as it is now.” There were 1,276 fewer voters Thursday in Lexington than on the city’s first day of early voting in the 2024 presidential election, which Welch said is a slim margin. The Lexington Public Library Eastside Branch drew the most voters, 1,600, of all local precincts Thursday. The Northside Branch had 1,364 voters, Tate’s Creek had 1,341, Marksbury had 1,235, Beaumont had 953 and Central had 807. The voter turnout statewide has been 61% greater than on the first day of early voting in 2023, according to
