Kentucky law currently allows people who can't make it to the polls on election day to cast absentee ballots but Grimes wants to expand it to allow in-person voting for everyone, 12 days before an election, including two Saturdays.
37 states now allow the practice, and Grimes says she hopes participation would increase from 30-percent to over half of registered voters. The initiative was previously opposed by county clerks, but she says many are now on board.
State Representative Jody Richards (D-Bowling Green) is sponsoring the legislation.
