Bullitt County court order changes polling place for 76 voters in Pleasant Grove

Voters who live in the Pleasant Grove community on the following four roads were “improperly coded” into Mt. Washington:

Alpar Lane
Pare Court
Pleasant View Court
Beagle Run

The coding issue was revealed by the county’s Board of Elections Chairman, Kevin Mooney, who said a Circuit Court order caused the change.

Any registered voter who lives on those four roads should go to Pleasant Grove Elementary School, located at 6415 KY-44 in Mt. Washington to vote.

They were originally told to go to Eastside Middle School -- but should not go there to vote. One voter reached out to WAVE 3 News saying he voted at 3 p.m. and was made aware of the change at that time.

No other areas of the county were affected by the coding error.

Polls close in Kentucky at 6 p.m. local time.

Voters with questions can call Mooney at his office: 502-543-2513.
