It's still six days before the polls open in Kentucky, but plenty of people statewide have already voted.
According to the Kentucky State Board of Elections, 22,390 people had cast absentee ballots at their respective county clerk's office as of Monday. At 9:30 a.m. today, Crittenden County Clerk Carolyn Byford said only 125 people had voted on the absentee machine in her office.
Another 12,716 people statewide had voted absentee by mail, according to a report from The Associated Press. Tuesday was the deadline to request a mail-in ballot.
Byford said only 32 mail-in ballots had been requested from her office. Those ballots must be returned by 6 p.m. Election Day.
Perhaps a sign of a lower-than-expected turnout for this year's voting, Byford said she has sent out upward of 100 mail-in ballots for past elections.
Byford said it costs the same to put on an election if 3,000 or only 300 people vote in the county. She said the most recent cost of an election was about $14,000 to the county.
