Jefferson County has prepared a new space at the courthouse for persons to cast absentee ballots for the March 3 presidential primaries.

On-site absentee voting was moved from the fourth floor to a long-unused space on the fifth floor, according to Circuit Clerk Jacqueline Anderson Smith.

“Right now, you can vote absentee until Feb. 27,” she said.

Citizens also can mail in applications for absentee ballots. Those ballots must be postmarked by Feb. 28, the Friday before the primary.
